new rims and TPMS warning

so i got mrr gt-5 rims and im getting the tpms warning. Shop quoted me at 125~ to buy all 4 tpms monitors + install them.

You need sensors specific to the G37. That price sounds dirt cheap for a full set - too cheap. MSRP is more than that per sensor.

Set of sensors were in the 380ish range from Riverside. That was a year ago when I was still there. Prices may be different now.

I wouldn't do it unless they can guarantee you they will work. Better make sure they are the correct ones. Part # is in the OEM wheel sticky thread.

you also need to have them programmed if they're oem ones that came from a different car

Why didn't you just transfer the sensors from the old rims to the new ones?

I thought you had to have the dealer program the new sensors? 125 sounds too cheap unless there garbage, im a lil crazy but i like everything oem i would have to put the stock in, otherwise it would mess my head up lol I know i have a problem!

Big Brand was able to pop out the the sensors from my oem rims and put them in my aftermarket wheels/tires without having to dismount the stock tire from the wheel and reset the sensors so i wouldn't get that warning light on my dash.

Not exactly sure but when I got my car it was set in neutral which they said was to reset the sensors.

Just because you didn't see it doesn't mean it didn't happen

I used to have MRR GT5 rims on my G. They are compatible with the TPM sensors and no adapter is needed. The shop transferred the sensors from the OEM rims to the MRR's. There was no need to have them re-programmed just as long as you place them in the same spot. In other words, the sensor in the passenger side front rim would be installed in the new rim going to that location and so on.
