The original sensors should fit onto the new wheels if they are the valve stem type. New bands are required for the other type (I think cutting is the only way to remove the bands that those sensors mount to) Maybe get new batteries for them and don't spend the $400. You say you check your tire pressure, but, just between us guys, is it every time you start the car? The TPMS does!

The sensors are held in place by stainless steel straps (bands). Just buy band kits and swap the sensors to the new wheels. That or press the reset button every time you drive.

EDIT: Opps. Just saw your thread that yours is an '11. Never mind... Just swap the valve/sensor assy...

i manually check mine every month, not every time i start the car.
and it is rarely low. if its low, i can see it with my eyes.
if it drops below 22 psi, thats when the TPMS warns you. my eye catches it before that.

TPMS is like catalytic conververters, somethink else to break, that you dont really need.
its another expense to pay for that is not needed.
we got by for decades without it perfectly fine.
both the TPMS and the cats i throw in the trash.
