TPMS in Aftermarket wheels

Sorry to revive this thread but I had a general question (this is my first post on the forum):

I have 20 Inch TSW Wheels on my Z and these had the TPMS sensors. I had them for a year or so can confirm they were working (as the light came on during cold mornings and I would fill it up and the light would disappear)

Yesterday, I took these off and threw on my spare set (also TSW) but they do NOT have TPMS sensors on it. I decided not to buy another set of sensors since I usually check it once a week before I drive my Z.

I checked the pressure on the spare set and was on my way, expecting the light to come on soon. But it never did. I probably drove about 25-30 miles and still nothing.

Thoughts?

It will take a few drive cycles. When I go from stock with tpms to winter wheels without, I can drive around for about a day or two without the tpms light coming on. Just give it time, you won't be disappointed.

Thanks for the reply. I was under the impression that the system would pick it up immediately. I guess I'll patiently wait for the famous light to come on.
