Do aftermarket rims mess with the low tire pressure sensor?

I have some Volk GTAV's on order, and, after talking with my dealer service mgr. he informed me that the sensor is part of the valve stem assy and that it is no problem to take my old sensor/stems out and install them in my new wheels, mentioning that that do install lots of aftermkt wheels and have no problem installing sensors and getting them to work with whatever wheel a customer chooses...
Dealer does want approx $350 to change out my wheels, install and register the sensors.

I was also told to make sure the original steel valve core is there and they don't substitute a brass one. The brass will cause a malfunction.

IMO, the dealer is totally out of line. I had my sensor put in my aftermarket wheel for no charge although some tire places charge $25-$35 per wheel. They charge this because of the possible damage to the sensors. Why would the dealer have to register the sensors because they are the same sensors that came on the car?
