Yes, you can use your OEM TPMS in the TE37's.

Your valve stems will be your TPMS - it's all in one.

I have a question for TE's. if you want the concave look do you have to actually ask for it when you order it or does it all depend on the offsets that you actually go by?

How concave the spokes are on the TE37 depend on wheel size (diameter), width, and offset.

so to get the effect like johnny's bronze TE's but with 10" wheel in the rear the offset would have to be in the mid to low 30's?

Probably lower. Think of it this way - the more distance the spoke has to travel from the center to the rim of the wheel, the more concave the wheel will be. I know the look you're going for - the 350Z/G35 guys enjoy this look, and the offsets on those wheels are usually in the teens.

I think if IIRC, a couple Suby guys that had TE's and CE's, the face didn't start getting concave until around a +22 offset.
