Default Tpms display on gauge cluster

Hi all, just picked up a '14 is350 awd with F sport 3 package and I'd like to throw on different rims I already have but they do not have TPMS sensors. So was wondering how annoying it will appear on my dash , any pics will be greatly appreciated!
Few pics:

Seems to rain every day here now...I swear we live in Vancouver.
Just the amber dash light will be on when the TPMS sensors are missing. It's the same warning light that comes on when the pressures are low.
If you got about $200 to spare, invest in a set of EZ Sensors (or something similar).
They can be clones to the ones on the vehicle so you don't need to program them every time you switch wheels.
Tire shops will charge about $50 each to install and program.

OP - I think you will need to get a new TPMS cause that amber light will drive you insane in no time! (lol)

I have to ask though, why change these gorgeous OEM wheels? In my opinion, these are the best looking wheels out there....Lexus nailed it with this wheel design.

You should be able to transfer the monitors over to the new wheels. That's what I did.

Well coming from a '10 ISF, on that car it just had the amber light in the bottom right corner, but on the wife's '08 is250 it has that amber light and also between the gauges it keeps saying "check system" so that's annoying! But if on the '14 model if it's just an amber light I'm ok with that.
Ill look into those clones for the sensors in the meantime, but I do agree that the factory wheels are pretty sweet I would just like to have a set of 19s on it though..

yes I know it seems crazy right lol but I needed something a tad bigger and awd and more safety features as we are about to have a little one any day now! ISF was badass I must say but I'm very happy with this gen is350!
