TPMS adapters for VOLKS?

Hey guys! I'm about to get new tires for my TE37s and at the same time, its time to get rid of that dreaded low pressure light (tpms weren't transferred from stock wheels). I did some searching but can't narrow down which adapters fit and work with our wheels and BMW TPMS. If somebody can kindly point me in the right direction it would really be appreciated.!!

You can always have EAS recode the ecu; no sensors, no light. Cheaper than sensors and never need replacement.

At least as of this time last year they said they had the ability.

Email inquiry response from EAS dated July 23, 2012:

We can code the TPMS wheel sensors off, this is $95.
Let me know if you have any further questions or would like to schedule an appointment.

Best regards,

2007 BMW Z4 3.0Si with in wheel TPMS. Is it possible to change the coding of the warning light (turn off) if I remove my wheel sensors? Or is there another suggested way of removing/defeating the TPMS? If so, cost?
Thank you.

Maybe someone from EAS can jump in and confirm?

No, you do need to use TPMS style stems with a base that accepts the attachment screw, but you can get them in colors to match your wheels
