Default '11 GT - can I migrate my TPMS to other rims?

I'm getting ready to buy some winter wheels for my '11 GT Brembo.

Are these valve-stem style TPMS meters easy to migrate from the stock Brembo wheels to aftermarket American Muscle GT 500 wheels? Is this costly?

Or am I better off spending $250 for a set of 4 new TPMS meters?

I was told I had to buy new ones when i got my new tire/wheel package. They told me it is difficult to transfer them and they can easily break

I can't speak for the valve stem style sensors but if you own an '11 plus a Z06 then just fork out the few$$ and be done with it.

Don't migrate the ones you have on you current rims, you can buy OEM sensors and install them onto your new rims.

I don't know how to do it, but I think if you follow the TPMS reset procedures in your owner's manual, the new sensors will calibrate to your new sensors in your new rims.

After all, for someone with a Z06, that should be nothing that the Sherminator cannot conquer

Don't have the Z06 any longer but will go ahead and buy the extra sensors anyway.

I bought four non OEM stem style TPMS sensors on evil-bay for $100.

Had the dealer install them and mount my winter tires on 18" Ford rims.

No problems.
