Default Moving '05 ES330 alloy wheels to a 2008 ES350?

I'm selling my '05 ES330 and buying an '08 ES350. One "upgrade" I did to the '05 was to replace pitted leaking chrome wheels with alloys. The '08 has chrome wheels which are in good shape. To add to the resale value of the '05 and avoid any risk of chrome-related leaks in the future I'd planned to swap the wheels before selling. When I went to do so I discovered the TPMS.

Anyone happen to know:
1) if wheels for an '05 will accommodate the TPMS sensors from an '08?
2) if yes, do the sensors tend to move or are they likely rusted in place by now?
3) if they are compatible but are unlikely to move, how expensive are 5 replacement sensors?

Any other suggestions or ways around this other than rolling the dice on chrome wheels again or purchasing a new set of alloys?

Thanks!
