Not a good idea to run the TPMS sensors in the wheels due to the possibility of punctures. When you air down and come up on a ledge the sensor could puncture through the tire. Just an opinion...

Maybe he has no plans to air down. If he is putting them in beadlock rims then its probably not going to see much offroad.

Some states require vehicles that came with TPMS to still have it functional and the inspection *can* require the light to come on at start up and turn off.

Likely....no, but possible.

Thank you for the feedback guys. Honestly it's a mall crawler for the moment (not ashamed to say) lol.. I live in Florida and no need to air down. I drive on the road and hwy so I should probably get them just to be sure it's always keeping pressure!!! Thanks again!!

Then there's no need for beadlocks or really any reason to have them

You could get fake (simulated) beadlocks.. Cheaper lighter and easier to mount. It would achieve the look you're going for

I actually love the World Series rings on the Trail Ready.. Fake beadlocks just not my thing. And in the future I will probably be moving to where I will be rock climbing so I will use them.
