I’m getting the wheels re-chromed on my 98 Roadster and I found these devices strapped to the inside of three of the wheels once we’ve removed the tires. I would’ve thought they are TPMS sensors but one of the wheels didn’t have one and another was busted open and loose. Also, the temp wheels I have on don’t have TPMS and no dash light.

Any idea what they might be?

My two front wheels have them, I haven't received my rear tires yet so don't know about the rear. I was under the impression they were TPMS.

It's some sort of a Security/remote Control Transmitter

Hope this can help you.
Not sure if this would be a good place for a GPS tracker so I would suspect TPMS

Thank you did this info Josh. what would cause these sensors to trigger dash light?

i only ask because one wheel didn’t have a sensor in it and the temp wheels don’t have any, yet no dash light. In fact, is there a dash light for this?

I can certainly attest that my 98 feels easier/more comfortable to drive than my 94.

however, the 94 feels incredibly raw, especially without the front drive shafts.

Check to see if the bulb is in the socket, and fuse is in place

Or, leave it well alone and remove the sensors to lose well mass?

 

[Sledge4.2]

Mine is gone

 

[oldsouth]

Wonder if they have batteries in them?

 

[Sledge4.2]

they must

 

[diabcoun]

Most people remove those tire sensors
I removed them, but kept them in a box just in case

I built TPMS in my Roadster wheels before. It can measure also temperature per wheel and it alarms at sudden pressure loss

Sorry to hear you won't be procuring 6.0 wheels....

I don't have this device on any of my wheels....

 

[Roadsterman]

And here is the TPMS display. This is my old one. I have a new one to be assembled, with a battery voltage readout, pressure, temperature, and a 2.1A fast USB charger

I have a heater in the garage that blows inside the left rear wheel arch. This explains the differences in temperature

 

[DiabloClyde]

Ormond, out of curiosity what are you being charged to re-chrome your set of wheels?

Wish I could my friend, but these prices are just silly for wheels! More importantly, I'm becoming more convinced there is value to keeping the car as original as possible.

Ormond, out of curiosity what are you being charged to re-chrome your set of wheels?

I haven't actually reached out to anyone yet. My biggest challenge so far has been finding the right 'bits' to take the wheels apart. I found a seller on eBay that sells them and hoping to get my hands on them next week.

If you know a good chrome place, that doesn't cut corners, please give me their contacts.

 

[DiabloClyde]

I don’t. My wheels are original or were rechromed before I bought the car, either way they look in great shape and don’t need any work but eventually they might. I was just curious what that would cost
