Default TPMS for aftermarket wheels

Do I have to purchase a whole new set of TPMS for the set of 5axis wheels I just purchased? If so, where do I get them?

Use your tpms from your old rims so that you don't have to go to the dealer and program the new one.

if you dont want that annoying warning sign and it doesn't bother you then you dont. i dont know what the law states but hey its ur car. i purchase my new set from ebay. you can use ur old ones on the stock rims but that means u will have to swap tpms every time you change rims.

yep. and that's exactly why I just said fuggit. I don't wanna swap sets or get a new set. I just wanted my new rims on asap lol

The warning light doesn't come on until like 15-25 miles or if I blast the car from 0-80 mph.

oh okay. I bought the 5axis wheels and was planning on using them as my summer wheels, and then my X-package wheels as winter wheels. I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and get the ebay ones. Anyone have a link for the ebay ones?
