    I picked up a set of RPF1's and I need to get RPMS for them.

    Otherwise, if you know of a good place to source them, I would appreciate that information.

    Thanks

    I've been running with the light on since about 3 weeks after I got my car. I think it might seem odd once I put my summer wheels on, and the light goes off :laugh:

    Tirerack.com does sell TPMS sensors that work for Subaru.

    My light is on all summer. My winters are the stock 09 wrx rims with dunlop winterforces and TPMS sensors still on. I havent bought the sensors for my summer rims because every time I swap out sets the computer would need to be reflashed or else it wouldnt recognize the new sensors. Wish there was a easier way around it.

    I have a set of used TPMS from my 08 WRX. I know three of them are in good shape, one is little beat up. Pm me how much you are willing to spend I might sell it.

    Thanks for the responses. (03SubyR - I pm'd you). What a pain modern cars are becoming. I am considering buying "the tool" to reset my ECU to recognize the new sensors every Spring/Fall season. Anyone have experience with that tool? Would it be possible to do a "community purchase" and have "all of us" own the thing and pass it around when someone needs it? (i.e. does it only work on 1 ECU, or can it be used on multiple cars?)

    Thanks again
