Some can and some can't. I believe Dave/ZX answered a question similar to this on another thread sometime back. Do a search.

Yes. On the Foose wheels there are two holes. One for the sensor (near the inside lip of the wheel) and one for the regular stem (behind one of the spokes). You really can't see either one since they're on the inside of the wheels.

I have four TPMS for sale which I ordered for my 2007 Suburban. They're brand new ordered from GMpartsdirect. My 22's which I purchased came with the sensors. I will let them go for $22.50 each plus $15.00 shipping if anyone interested....

The sensor is inside the rim at the base of the valve stem.(small square) The common problem preventing the transfer of the sensor is the shape and angle of the interior of the new rim. Sometimes there is no space for the sensor and sometimes it won't seal.
