Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems Locally?

I was browsing online and came across some tire pressure monitoring systems. This seems like a neat tool for the track. They are pretty pricey though. Anyone know if we can buy a good kit locally?

LOL, I knew someone would bring that up. I have a digital one that I have been using that came with my air pump. But this system is pretty cool since you can monitor it on the fly in-car for both pressures and temperature.

Yeah no the TPMS's are pretty cool - I was just being an ***

Unfortunately I don't know of a "cheap" system. They're all pretty pricey...

Considering the coin I've been watching you drop on your car, I'm surprised that your saying $180 is expensive. Granted it doesn't seem like your getting much, but on the track I'm sure this would be an invaluable tool. Probably worth the money since the less you spend the less quality is involved.
