So I was totally stoked this weekend. I got my new Giovanna wheels in and dropped everything off at the tire shop to get installed. I get word today that the hole for the valve stem is too tight and recessed to get a tool in there to properly tighten the TPMS sensors. Has anyone else run into this problem? If so, what did you do? I really love the wheels but I don't want to run them without the TPMS sensors.

I might have a set lying around if you need them.

Thanks Chedman, but I hope we figured it out this evening. I forgot to take pictures but the problem was that even a thin walled 12mm socket would not fit in the valve stem hole to properly tighten the TPMS. Found out that an 11mm socket would so they ordered new threaded collar for the sensor. I should know tomorrow if that works. If not, those bracket adapters may be my only hope. Thanks for the help and, if all goes well, I'll post some pictures of the new setup. Keeping my fingers crossed!
