New Niche Wheels & I Need Correct TPMS Sensors
I just pulled the trigger on a set of 19" Niche Misanos for my 2013 GS350. I want to get TPMS sensors ordered up and ready before my wheels arrive. Can someone point me in the right direction as far as brand, clamp in vs thread in, etc? I also dont want to have to program them. I am wanting to take sensors to my tire guy and have them put in, and have the car recognize they are there and right. Hence, no TPMS light in dash. Thank YOU

The GS350 has direct TPMS, where you get pressure readings for each individual tire. Aftermarket sensors will not work properly.
I purchased a set of OEM TPMS sensors for like $80 off eBay

This is not correct. Aftermarket will work, for example DENSO 550-0105 are compatible. I also bought OEM sensors off ebay for my winter setup. They were ~$65 shipped, but they are used and don't expect a full 7-10 years of battery life. The set did come with the service kit, so i used the new gasket and valve stem nut (existing valve cores looked super clean and saved new ones from service kit for future use).

OP - you cannot change tpms sensors in the 4GS without reprogramming the FCC ID's stored in the car's memory. You can get a set of sensors that can be cloned to your existing ID's, but it's more of a hassle than just letting your installer reprogram the car with techstream or handheld tpms scanner/tool.

Do you think America's Tire stores TPMS scanner tool can be used to reprogram the FCC ID's? Want to avoid getting raped at dealer for reprogramming.
I want to get a set of aftermarket wheels and sensors but wasn't sure which one will work.
I will get the DENSO 550-0105 as you have recommended.

Your going need to do a lil more research before you buy the Denso or OEM. Depending on the location of the valve hole on the wheels it might change what sensors can be used. A lot of the Toyota sensors send the exact same kind of signals but the angle that the stem comes out of the actual sensor is different. If the angle is wrong the sensor will hit the rim and not seat properly or maybe stick out too far making the tires hard to mount without damaging the sensor or tire.
