Tire Presure Sensors, Transfering them to new wheels.

Tire Presure Sensors, Transfering them to new wheels.
I got new wheels on my car. I didn't realize that the sensor was inside to old wheels. Now the tire pressure sensor fault warningturns on after I start the car and drive it around a little bit. No big deal because all I have to do it hit the reset button.
But I found a guy who would break down the old tires to get the old sensors, getthe new bands for the new 20's I have on and install the sensors on the new tires, all for $80.
Just wondering if anyone has sucessfully transfered old sensors to new tires. Will this for sure make the warning go away by itself? Or will I have to go to the dealr to get them recalibrated or something. If that is the case I don't want to go through all the hassle.
I figure for $80, I would go do this to have working sensors and that annoying sensor off. With low profile tires, it it hard to tell just by looking if you are low. I just wanted to make sure this will all work without having to take it to the price gouging dealer.

Transferring the OEM sensors to new wheels/tire with new mounting bands works fine, I switched out my OEM wheels but kept the same tires, and had the shop mount the sensors to the new wheels - no worries.

$80 isn't a bad price at all. Make sure that the sensors are in the same wheel they came off of, otherwise you may have to take it to a dealer to get the sensors "retrained". The bands alone are $15 each, and they will have to be replaced--the factory ones are crimped on, the replacements use a worm gear style clamp. I've seen people glue the sonsors to the wheel, and I'll tell you now that it won't last.
