No. Sidewall puncture. Luckily I was about 5 miles from home. The tire was leaking but i also carry a good inflator. I pulled over every 1 to 1.5 miles to put more air in and I made it home.
Got the LiftMaster 3 Tons low profile and mounted the new wheels today. Easy peasy.
On the TPMS sensors, if anyone is running a second set of wheels, DO NOT pay your dealership or anyone to program them. My dealership was going to charge me $460 to program the new sensors. However, if you read the manual, it says to go to the setting and select new set. And it takes 10-30mins of driving for the car to learn and recognize the new sensors. So now I wonder wth the dealer do to “program” the sensors for $460.
Registering new TPMS. The tire pressure warning light will flash for a bit then stay on until the new sensors are recognized.
After about 10mins of driving, the readings showed up.
Wheels and tires look great! Might want to try a different dealship!? I hate dealership that take advantage. Especially those who charge 460 for 15 minutes of time and no special equipment. I wouldn't trust them to put air in the tire.

They’re all the same. I think programming the TPMS and key fob are one of the services that have a huge mark up. I’m one of the few that actually try to have a good relationship with the dealership. However, I do decline some services and offers that just doesn’t make any sense.
And it’s also the LC500 and maybe LS500 that has this feature and other vehicles do need some kind of initial programming. I know for a fact my 2020 GSF does not have this. In fact, it can only store one set of tpms. So everytime I swap wheels, I have to go into ODB and register the ID of the sensors being used.
I got my dealer to price match with these. They were asking $96 each. You’ll also need the fitting kit for each.
You’re probably okay with other Toyota tpms that sell for $40-60 a set on eBay. I think they’re all 315MHz. However, I already spent so much on this car that another $400 is negligible at this point.
