Got this email about TPMS SENSORS
If your vehicle is an 07 model or newer, there’s a great chance you’ve got TPMS Sensors (after all, they’re required by law). Most aftermarket wheels require aftermarket sensors, since the signal on OE sensors have a limited signal. In fact, we tested 1,000’s of OE sensors, and almost none worked through the thick sidewalls of AT and MT tires. Guarantee proper function with our high-quality sensors, and save the hassle of dismounting and rebalancing the wheels locally, for just $179.
So I picked up OEM Ford sensors for my year truck for $25 dollars all 4 wheels. Havent got tires yet but is this statement true that I should go with aftermarket sensors?

I’ve been all over the Internet searching for TPMS sensors with Chrome/Metal valves. I plan to change out my wheels for Chrome aftermarket wheels and want valve stems to blend… Anyway, I would absolutely prefer to buy Ford/Motorcraft but I can’t find anything other than black rubber stems.
