Quick question, have anybody installed the Orange Electronic TPMS??? I want to buy this unit and the guy at Tirerack.com could not tell me if they would fit my rims. They should, but I just wanted to check. I have a 1997 Cobra with original rims.

Here is the link for the Orange TPMS: Orange Electronic Retro-Fit Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Thanks.

Okay, answered my own question more or less. I'm going to buy the thing, I found the following brochure PDF from Orange that has a bunch of pictures of the sensors. They seem to be pretty universal.

I will try to remember to post my findings after installation, I'm ordering also four new Pirelli PZero Nero's. I went through a set of mostly highway use and I'm pretty satisfied with the performance and durability. The only thing I think I noticed is that the sidewalls seem to be softer than the previous tires, but it is not a big deal.

I also got Orange TPMS in my car, it is nice. they are using "TP-checker" as their retro-fit TPMS brand, and oec as their OE replacement sensor.
They have a formula team for Formula Nippon this year in Japan, and very good score for the racing.
it also showing the good quality product in the formula racing.
I love it in my car now.More important, i love it, because it response very fast, i tried to deflate the tires, it show alert within 3 seconds everytime, very good.

I bought one Orange TPMS from US Auto Parts. I check many brand TPMS, most of the internal units are more than $200. This one is only $170. it's universal for all passenger car models. I think it's worthy and cheap for me.

Orange TPMS is easy to install. Only need to install sensors and plug in the cigar jet. Then the little kit works. Display is 3.5" x 2" x 0.75", very small. This one need no extra cable. Very easy and useful.

Moreover, Orange unit tested in many racing car (Formula Renault, Honda Le-Manz 24 hrs) I like speed so much, I was wondering if the speed goes too high and it doesn't work. It seems speed not a problem for it.

Continental Tire mentioned TPMS can reduce fuel consumption. It’s a great info for me. I saw the crude gasoline has been $140 today. I need to drive 2 hrs per day. Saving fuel consumption is also a good news for me.

Also, I heard that flat tire is the biggest reason of non-human factor accident. Watching my tire is another reason I need TPMS.

Some pictures when I open the box everybody can see.
