I just purchased the 18 Armano Royce. The guy putting the rims on said that there is a sensor on the tire. Is this true and do I have to do something with this? New with the rims and tire thing for my 08 Altima sedan 2.5SL.

First - welcome!

2 - you have TPMS sensors on your wheels (every car buit after 2007(?) has them - its' the law) that either need to be transferred to your new wheels or you have to buy new sensors. If not, you are going to get the TPMS error light coming on on your dash. If you can use the old ones, use them so you don't have to reprogram. Otherwise, if you get new sensors, you have to go to the dealer to get them reprogrammed.
