You will have to retrain the SJB for the new sensors
ANDeverytime you swap wheels.
True...but I got one of those keyfob looking things that retrains it and the entire process literally takes 30-45 seconds total. I already tried it on a set of polished aluminum 18s I had for a short period of time.

Yes, its a simple process with a trainer tool.
30-45 secs total time required.

These sensors are really a pain in the @$$ lol. I found the 20x10 and 20x8.5 staggered chrome replica bulliltts on Speedconcepts for $690 NEW, which is an insanely good price. I also found some Yokohama S.drive tires with good ratings from tire rack for a total of $678. All I need is to find a place that will put the sensors on for a reasonable price and to find out if these sensors from latemodelrestoration.com will work (price $319.95). Add it all up (before any shipping or installation fees of the sensors) to a total of a very reasonable $1687.95. If only I could find that price and all of these different things from one website so I could just get a complete set shipped to me...

What about running without them? Must be a way to turn off the TPMS I would think.

Nope.
TPMS is a govt mandated system.
No turning it off.
Resetting it, yes.

I think TPMS is a good tool and I want to use it, that's why I'm going throgh the trouble of getting them put on. Seems like tirerack.com is the only site that sells bullitts, tires, and TPMS and installs it all and mounts and ballances it all. The only problem is their prices are literally through the roof. Like over $2000 for 18's!! And I want 20's lol
