Its up to you, if i understand what your asking....you have two options.1. Buy a new set of TPMS and have them put on your new rims.2. Just deal with the light on your dash....which is what I did. There is no button, they are attached to your tires.hope that helps

Just swap out the sensors. Don't have to get it reset or anything of the sort.

Just have them transferred when mounting new wheels. no resets or anything of the kind.

I have a similar question about this. I got 19' Konig Troubles and also got 4 new TPMS sensors because I didn't want to take off the sensors from my stock wheels. I went and got my TPMS sensors reset at the dealership when I put the Troubles on, they did it for free because it had like 1000 miles on my car. So I've taken the troubles off because here in NY winter is in full effect. So my question is when I put my stock wheels back on i'm getting the blinking TPMS sensor light for about 2mins then turns solid, I know this means I need to reset them again, but am I going to have to get my sensors reset every time I take off and put on my rims? If so what is the point of getting 4 new sensors for new wheels when you get them?

Unfortunatly, that's the way it is - you can only have 1 full set of sensors on the vehicle. Every time you change wheels, youa re going to have to redo the sensors or just live with the light until you change back.

Alright, I guess I'll have to live with the light being on with my stock rims. I rather have the sensor do its job with my Troubles and my rubber band tires 235/35/19 . So when I put my Troubles back on I won't have to reset the sensors because the car has the trouble sensors in its memory?

Correct - those sensors are still tied to the system, and will be until they are removed.
