Default TPMS sensors in Work Emotion?

Will the Work Emotion CR Kai wheels take the OEM S2000 TPMS sensors?

No. The 08-09 TPMS sensors will not fit in Work Emotion CR Kai's unless you mod the rims; but this really isn't necessary. You still have several options:

- Don't use the TPMS sensors and live with the TPMS warning light (but do remove the sensors from your "old" rims and save them since they aren't cheap and are also sync'ed to your car).

- Or, you can remove the TPMS sensors from your "old" rims and keep them inside the car so you don't get the TPMS Warning light... since they are pressure/proximity sensors you should check out the following thread:

clickie ---> TPMS SENSORS ???

There is another S2K specific TPMS/PVC Pipe thread on S2Ki somewhere, but the thread above should give you the general idea. The NOS "pipe bomb" is cool, but you can get by with a smaller diameter PVC pipe and just stuff it under the driver/passenger seat.

- I have also heard of S2K owners removing the "TPMS fuse" to disable the warning light; however, since my car is a 2006 S2K, I can't test this or confirm if this is a valid option or not.

IMO you should not let TPMS be the deciding factor in getting the best looking wheels for your car. Work Emotions Rock!

There's no limp mode activated when the TPMS warning is activated then?
If all I need to so is remove the TPMS fuse then that's what I'll try

Supposedly the only thing that happens when the TPMS is activated is that an annoying light comes on in the dash, which might be able to be turned off by just removing the fuse
Everything else "should" be OK though

There are a few cars that will affect the horsepower of the car when the light comes on. Honda does not have anything like that.
