first you need to make sure your new rims are lexus tpms compatible. i know pretty much all volks arent tpms compatible

its hard to take them out cuz its connected to the valve stem. so you need to deflate your tires, then lift your tire bead above the rims and then take it out....its a lot easier if you take it to a shop and they do it for like $25 a wheel. with remount and rebalancing

not to mention you will still need to put valve stems in your stock wheels if you want to be able to drive on them.
