Can a track setup exclude the TPMS? I know some cars will go into a limited power mode when the TPMS is not sensing or eliminated.

The rims I got had valve stem holes that were too small for the OEM TPMS so I drove the car about 600 miles before getting up the nerve to drill out the holes to make the sensors fit.

The car had no issues without the TPMS other than the annoying light on the dash.

One should make the assumption that he is talking about a given wheel in 18" vs. 19". So yes...they are lighter.
