I got an extra set of tire pressure sensors and I am wondering if they will work with work wheels or any other brand. Also if they dont does anyone know where to get the metal bands to affix the sensor to the rim?

personally i dont' think they will work with ANY brand. it has to do with design. i don't consider those rubber band setup to be acceptable as a "fit" myself.

The metal bands are not a perfect solution, but that set-up do work with the HRE's on my G35 coupe. It's still better than discarding the sensors altogether if you want to pick a nice set of rims that won't accomodate the sensors.
The sensors on my SC430 have also worked perfectly so far with the BBS wheels (at the valve stems.)

I think having the tire pressure sensor is a nice feature that I would like to have. I guess thats why I bought an extra set of TPS sensors. Its sort of hard to tell when ur tire is flat on low profile tires until you have a blown side wall usually. So I know the bands are not an ideal solution I would rather have a solution rather than just leaving them out. No offense intended thats just my feeling on the TPS sensors. Anyone know where I can get the metal bands?

yeah it works, but it might not be at the best position and if it's not completely flat with the internal surface, when hitting a pothole or dip, you can easily knock off the sensor. happened to my friend already. to me it's kinda like connecting two wires. can the wire be exposed? yeah it will work without electrical tape. however just see if water gets in. just to be perfect
