Default TPS vs Aftermarket wheels

I'm planning on replacing the wheels on my LS600h L but just realised it might throw up all sorts of warning lights if I do? Is there an easy way around this happening please?
I know other's have replaced wheels, so must be possible, but how?

I've never heard of warning lights due to wheel replacement. Just use quality TPMS sensors. Off brand has generated many problem threads here. Most national tire shops use quality sensors and warranty their work.

I thinks he's unfamiliar with removing the sensors in his current wheels and installing them in his new wheels. Depending on age you may want to consider new sensors. If you reuse the old make sure to purchase service kits when they are swapped over.

Maybe. Good answer though. Why someone buying new rims and tires wouldn't buy new sensors and valve stems.....

I’ve been through two sets of aftermarket wheels, tires, and TPMS and never had any issues. The tire shop will register the new TPMS so no warning lights will be present.
