Default Rims?

I've picked out new rims that I want for my 2014. Do I need to buy the TPMS for each rim or can I transfer it from my old rims? I'm not fond of the stock look so they won't be put back on. Buying new tpms will cost me an additional 120 bucks plus the calibrator.


thanks!

Most tire places will rebuild the stock ones in the new wheel... Discount tire here in Knoxville is doing that for me, and I know Firestone does it as well.

Why would they need rebuilding? Aren't they attached on the backside of the valve stem?

No the tpms is held on by a washer. You should rebuild it because when you move them over to the new wheels you want a nice tight seal so air wont escape. The kit replaces the rubber washer and the casing. Sears and firestone will be able to do that for you as well.
