You can swap the senors to the new wheels with no problems like they said thats what I did. If you don't swap them the chime and light will come on at start up. The chime will quit but the light will stay on. Some people have said the light goes off after a few days but I don't know that for sure. I'm not sure of the cost of the sensors but seems like I saw $40 a piece somewhere. There's one in the spare too.

Without the sensors, do you know when it chimes? Is it only at startup, the same as when the tire pressure is low?

Thanks!

From what I have read it chimes at start up but the light stays on all the time.

Thanks...I bought a set of replacement wheels and tires without sensors that I plan to use only for my wheeling trips. It would be quite annoying if it chimed during the whole trip!

just put wheels and tires on today and didn't know about the TPMS until about 10 miles into my trip when the light came on and it started chiming. It chimes about 3 times then quits but the light stays on.

That's true it chimes at startup then stops but the light does stay on.

Just buy yourself an AEV Procal and set the tire pressure to zero and no more problems. I have an '08 and did that so I could run rubber stems and not break off the tpms sensors on the rocks like some of the people I wheel with have done.
