More than likely the wheel sensors are the same, they shouldnt mount any differently on an OEM steel wheel vs OEM Aluminum, However if you are mounting the sensors to aftermarket wheels be sure to see if the Valve stem hole is in the drop center of the wheel, if its not you may need adapters to mount the sensors properly in order to prevent the tire from damaging it during mounting. Its what I had to do on mine. We sell them at my shop since all vehicles built after Sept. 07 are ordered to have TPMS, and hardly any aftermarket wheels are made to accomodate them. IM me if I can help.
