tpms light
I recently switched wheels with another friend that has a IS350 & now my tpms light will not go off ... is it because his monitors aren't recognized by my car?

pheonix72 gave you the answer in the very second post. Take it to a good tire shop that has a TPMS tool like the Bartec, not to a car dealer than doesn't. The Toyota dealer probably just has a Techstream scanner. While you can do it with a Techstream, it would require dismounting all four tires, getting the serial numbers off of the sensors, and then mounting and balancing. A shop with a Bartec walks around the car with the tool, then plugs it into the OBD-II port and is done in less than five minutes.
