Tire pressure sensors in new rims??
You do not need to "turn off" the tire pressure monitoring system. If you do not have TPS's in your aftermarket rims, the system doesn't know the sensors aren't there. The sensors only send a signal to the system and light the warning light if a tire's pressure drops below a set pressure.

I had aftermarket rims on my 04 car for a year without the TPS's and the light NEVER came on. Before I put the rims on I checked with a friend that is an Infiniti service tech and he confirmed that the TPS's only send a signal if the pressure drops, otherwise they do not "communicate" with the car so the car doesn't know they aren't there. The later model years may be different.

I guess I just got lucky that I didn't have to deal with the warning light when I had the aftermarket rims on my 04.

You can get TPMS straps from HRE ao you can mount the TPMS into any wheel. that is how mine are mounted in my Volks
