Default TPMS for new wheels

I am thinking of getting some aftermarket wheels and was wondering what did you do about TPMS. Did you install sensors in your new wheels and have the dealer program them? Since I like to switch different sets of wheels, having the dealer reprogram after each switch can get expensive. Or do you just live with having the TPMS indicator light up in the dash?

ill save you a lot of trouble. discount tire tried 2 different sets of sensors that they can program to your car, neither worked!
finally ended up buying them from lexus and their programming tool did not have a 2014 anything in it, so they programmed them the same was as a 2013 Camry and it worked fine.

if you look on amazon and get the part number from lexus you can buy them for about 60 bucks each maybe less. if you go through lexus they are close to 100 each. I think sewell has a good price if your a member here at CL

from my experience don't waste your time with anything but the OE part and discount should be able to program them for you.
I do not know if it is possible to have more than 1 set in memory, I know my factory wheel sensors got erased and replaced with the aftermarket, so if I install the factory wheels ill need to go to discount to have them uploaded again.

Can you reuse TPMS from OEM tires on aftermarket tires? I dont really have much use for the stock ones once new tires and wheels are in.

Of course. The sensor is only checking for pressure, so regardless of if your changing the tire or the wheel they will work. Just make sure if it's an aftermarket wheel that they are TPMS compatible otherwise you'll need an adapter
