I have a 2009 g37x with stock 18 inch rims.. i want to get sport edition se -14 rims which are also 18 inch so the size doesnt change... do i need new tpms sensors or can i put the factory ones in the new rims? tirerack wants to charge me 100 dollars a pop for tpms sensors. any complications with doing this?

As long as the new wheels are TPMS compatible, you can use your oem sensors without a problem.

They ripped you off with the gaskets to man. You don't need new ones. But why are you going with 18s? Im not puting you down or anything, its just interesting because most people go with 19s or 20s

because i spent 590 bucks total and i didnt want to go higher in rim size plus its a lease.. flame me however which way u will but i do have the money but ive gone thru that phase with my old acura cl type s .. its not worth it on the streets of nyc... im not spending tons of money on the 19 inch s rims only to get them stolen.. in my neighborhood everyone who has a g has gotten them stolen ONCE.. im not dealing with that
