My .02. TPM' s send a specific frequency out - the BCM / ECM 'sees' it. Each manufacturer - then each model; their TPM communicates at different frequency. Example- my '08 BMW TPM are 433 Hz. If you want to use different wheels best bet is go to ********. They list the correct aftermarket TPM / frequency for your vehicle. Once installed you will need to go through the OE reset / learn procedure and that's it.

If the TPM' s have been mounted in the wheels for a while - chances are 1 or more will be damaged while removing. So you would need to replace anyway ( ask me how I know)

There are programmable frequency TPM's out there ( much cheaper) that do require special scan tools. Those are generally for high volume tire shops.
