Once they are not the factory 16" rims, the rest will fit. I'm not sure exactly what regions got the 16"...may not have even been North America.
That leaves you with the 17" and 18" wheels...personally I would go with 17"s.

Way better than OEM imho.
Hi, how much is the cloned TPMS sensors? I just want the set of four cloned TPMS sensors. Is the shop located in GTA?

Any reputable tire shop should be able to supply and program the sensors.
You could try 1010Tires in Mississauga or Steelecase Tire'n'Mag in Markham (Woodbine and Steeles area).
There's likely many other places, but those come to mind at the moment.

I got quoted $300 for 4 aftermarket sensors, so that seems a bit overpriced.

It should be roughly $50 a sensor, plus programming (maybe another $50), and then taxes.
Some shops will include the programming in the $50 for the sensor.
So basically anywhere from $225 - $280 would be reasonable.
$300 is maybe a tad over.

But the ones 23 tires inc are selling doesn't need to be reprogrammed to car every time you switch wheels/tires. It is a cloned of OEM sensors.

Make sure they are programable sensors (to clone your oem sensors) and not simply regular aftermarket sensors. I'm pretty sure you don't want to reprogram your car twice per year!

Yep...the programming in one time to clone each of the sensors. After that you just rotate wheels seasonally and you're done.
So really it just a one time up front cost.

Hi, I bought fast co wheels online and using my original tires 18" for the fast co wheels, plus buying another set of tpms sensors. Also, buying winter tires for my OEM rims. Cost is $847 for fast co rims, $271 for sensors and another $1260 roughly for winter tires, but I will have two sets of staggered 18" rims with brand new tires for winter and all season tires plus I don't have to reprogram every summer/winter. Just swap out wheels. Roughly $2378 for everything.

I know Steelecase you can email for a quote...so that way you're not stuck on the phone.
When the seasons are changing they are ridiculous busy.
I'm not sure which would be better...I don't have sensors for my winter wheels...I just drive with the light on...pretty ghetto, I know.
I don't drive my car a ton (maybe 10K a year), so I'm not really worried about the tire pressure. I just check it periodically.
