I am installed new wheels but without tpms sensor, I heard both sides.
The light will come on and beep and the light will just come on.

Does anybody know which one is true?

The reason I ask is because I do not want to go through the hassle of installing tpms sensor on my new rims because when I got my old rims powdercoated they broke one of the sensors off and bought me a new one which means I would need to take it to the dealership to get it reprogrammed so it would work.

If the light just comes on without any noise then I will not bother putting the tpms sensor in until I need to change the tires again since I already have tires mounted and balanced on the new wheel.

Also I got an alignment a couple weeks ago with my old stock rims.
Would I need a new one when installing my new wider rims?

Well, whenever my TPMS gets pissed off at me for having low pressure, it'll do the initial 10 second beep and the light will turn on, and after that the light stays on but it never beeps again.

Not sure what happens when your TPMS sensors aren't on the car though.

I don't have the tpms on my aftermarket rims and the lights just stays on after I start my car no beep or anything.just check ur wheels every now and then just to make sure it still holds air..

It might beep once in a while but the light will come on after you've driven a spacific distance. Why wouldn't you have them installed when you got the new rims? You don't need to go to Infiniti STEALERSHIP there's alway Nissan for better service and a less $....

I'll install it later since the tire and wheels are already mounted and I have a pressure gauge in my car that I use to check my tires anyways... I don't really like waiting for the light to fill my tires....

can anyone answer the alignment question?

^ if you didn't change the geometry of the suspension such as raising or lowering the car, I would say no.
