I was wondering if its worth to buy an aftermarket TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring) if you have expensive rim and tires? Something kind of like this

It's worth it if you can't tell by looking that you have a flat tire, and can't be bothered to check tire pressure on a monthly-or-so basis. Otherwise, total waste of money.

You could spend $200+ on a TPMS systems, or $5 on this and just keep it in your glove box at all times...
