Hey guys. I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out some things when it comes to getting rims. I've ran into some issues/questions regarding TPMS. I've spent a couple hours researching all I can on this forum and the web about TPMS but I still have a couple of nagging questions. I went Town Fair Tire this morning to ask some questions to the sales guys and they seemed a little unsure about TPMS on the Sonata. Right now, I'm trying to avoid having the TPMS indicator on all the time with a new set of wheels. I was told by the salesman that I'd have to order a new set of TPMS modules for the new tires and that it would cost $240 ($60x4) for a new set. However, when I asked if I could use the existing set he really didn't say yes or no. He just said it would be "possible." What I would like to do is use existing TPMS that are on my stock wheels and have them put them on the new rims with a rebuild kit. I don't see why it wouldn't work, but again, I'm a newb. In anycase, I'm sure some of you with TPMS wheels have added new rims and want to know what experiences you've had and if you've had any issues with TPMS being on all the time with your new wheels. Thanks for any help I get.

According to Tire Rack . com they say you can order a set from them or reuse the ones that come stock when shopping for rims & tires.
While i'm not certain it's possible, hopefully others can confirm, i'd like to save over $200 if I choose to upgrade.

I saw the info from Tire Rack as well. However, they aren't clear as well. Obviously the business wants to make money so I'm sure they'll make it as vague as possible. That's why I'm asking for help from any of you guys that have already gone through this.

The TPMS can only be set at the dealer. It is a huge hassle. Hopefully one doesn't get ripped off. I would be wary of after market resellers unless they stand behind their product in a big way. I bought a replacement set of alloys and that was a disaster. Long story short, I wound up putting the original wheels and hubcaps back on so I could get my ride back. And the installer broke one of the TPMS sensors necessitating two long trips to the dealer and tire store to get the mess straightened out. Wheels no matter how good looking aren't worth a hoot if the ride is made worse.
