Just realised something that might a problem or might not...
I have ordered the flat tyre indicator, will having aftermarket alloys fitted effect this, ie stop it from working???
Cheers guys...

It will work, the indicator does not measure pressure it measures the circumference of each tyre and when the circumference decreases it will indicate a flat tyre

What if you change the size of your wheels?
for example if you go from 17" to 19" or vice versa? Will the circumference not increase/decrease?

it works on the rolling radium/circumference not the size of the rims, if you change your rims form 17" to 19£ for example you would be using lower profile tyres on the 19" compared to the 17" otherwise your speedo would be out.
if you did change your wheels then it would probably be sensible to check the pressures were right once fitted & then set the tyre pressure indicator system, its only one push of a button
