Default Tire Pressure Monitoring System

How did you install the tire pressure control system on your BBS rims. With me it does not fit with the angle and in the height. I have an idea how to make an adapter, but maybe there is something better? At Manthey they talked about motorsport sensors? If in doubt I could still go there.
I am curious about your answers.

I bought a white 997.1 gt3 and love the look of these wheels on white cars. Can you help me understand the performance difference between 18" and 19".

More rotating Mass / Inertia + Less Choices for Tire Sizes

Default motorsports the 18 " rims are used

Basically it is correct that in motorsports the 18 " rims are used. But I can not quite understand it. A smaller tire diameter would e.g. result in a better acceleration, the moment of inertia of the combination tire and rim would be more favorable and possibly the unsprung mass would be lower.
But the choice of tires speaks against that, for the 18" rims I only get 235 on the front axle and 295 on the rear axle.
With sliks it would be different, but I don't drive them. And I'm sure that the bigger contact area of the 245 tire in the front and the 305 tire in the back is more important. Especially on the brakes the 245 will bring advantages. Therefore I drive the 19" rims.

Actually you can still run 245/305 on the 18" just depends on the width and offset of the wheel. We run 18 x 9 w 245 40 18 and 18 x 12 w 305 35 18 on our 997 Narrow Body.

The overall diameter is essentially the same so the overall diameter is not smaller and not resulting in more acceleration. However the weight can be less w 18" wheels and then there is some performance gains.
