Is this normal?

I got my car from the dealership about a two months ago, went to put on the new shoes today and found out I didn't have TPMS adaptors?

You don't have them in your new wheels? Well of course you wouldn't. Where did you get new wheels from? It would also help if you tell us what year and model you have, as some of them use a passive TPM system whereas others are active. I know all new US cars use active per DOT regulations, but Europe I dunno if some are still passive in which case you don't need anything in the wheel, it works off rotation speed.

No lights/errors. No, I left the wheels with the tires in the storage at the local tire shop.

Fuck! There's no trace of TPMS on the outside of the wheel, right? If that's the case, I am soooo fucking stupid!

I know it's inside but for some reason I *thought* there's some sort of a mark/trace.

Gees, I can't believe I took that guy's word for "You don't have any sensors" when he looked inside my wheel... shit!

I'm dumb with capitol D.
