...Ah,ok the tire sensors,forgot about that...!Here is what BC Forged (USA department) states in their web site:
"All monoblock wheels and step lip modular wheels will include standard BC Forged steel valve stems and are direct TPMS sensor compatible. All flat lip modular wheels will include standard BC Forged steel 90-degree valve stems along with TPMS sensor mounts."

Since I'm still waiting to take delivery of my car (yeap,I ordered the rims ahead of the car for a reason) which most likely will take place around mid autumn I didn't bother already with TPMS sensors.However I believe it's gonna be o.k. with our original sensors according to what they say.In any case though an additional question concerning the subject (stating your specific Macan model and original rim characteristics) to the shop where you'll purchase your rims from will be a good idea. ;)
Ah ok. I have already reached out the BC forged and will double check with them on this topic.

Did you contact them directly or through a dealer?What is the design you've chosen? I would strongly advise (maybe BC Forged will do the same) asking them to add to your rims what they call "Anti-Slip Knurling".Rims on very heavy and powerful cars it's best to be equipped with this option.Take a closer look over here to know what for:

I was not aware of the Anti-slip knurling to see if my design attached supports it. I just contacted them through their web site. They have not replied yet.

All designs support it including yours of course https://bcforged.com.tw/product_detail2.php?id=75&title=HCS15
If you contacted directly the Taiwan factory they'll respond in a couples of days according to my experience.The US plant maybe respond quicker as it's practical nwxt to you.There's also the dealership solution like I told earlier,I found one over here just in case: https://www.iraceautosports.com/wheels/
and another one here:https://www.straightsiximports.com/...cfM8RTyckfhxrlWFeS07BS87bP54JiMi9oj95zUUeFPp3

Can you recommend a TPMS pressure sensor that is compatible with the Macan?

Ciao Paolo,

I just ordered a set of wheels from BC Forged and when I asked them about the TPMS sensors they confirmed that the provided ones are 100% compatible with the Macan EV since the manufacturer has all the information available for the car. They had some issues only with Ferrari but never with Porsche on that matter.

Autel MX models... I have them, no issues. I bought the programmer too since the tire shop didn't set them up...
It was actually quite easy. They Autel MX models are basically blank slates.... You tell the sensor what model it is! so you basically program it to be a Porsche Sensor with our Porsche OE part number...
you don't have to get the programmer, but you just may need to find a shop that can program them. Autel is very common, so that shouldn't be hard
