As far as i know there is no way to turn the tpms off, but you can purchase the bands from american muscle and just change the sensors from your stock wheels over to your new ones.

or instead of incurring the cost to dismount your stock wheels for the sensors, there are many places like newtakeoff.com or ebay that have used sensors at a reasonable price.

you need to have the tmps on the new wheels you can use your old ones or get new ones, where you getting your rims and tires from b/c some places you can get new ones put on when they ship your rims

You really don't need them unless you don't know how to check your own tire pressure. I just hit my reset button every time i start my car and i regularly check my tire pressure so really don't need the tpms.

+1. As long as your index finger works no need to add the sensors to your new wheels. Unless you've got money to burn and/or you are trying to stimulate the economy.
