I ll have them finished by tomorrow, I was wondering whats gonna happen with the tpms system if i dont put sensors in the rims right away? Basically I wanna put the wheels on for a few days to make sure they hold fine and are not bent in any way before I switch the TPMS and have the body shop clear coat the rims. I am I gonna have annoying beeps and Christmas tree on the dash? and is the system just gonna bring itself back to normal once the sensors from my oem wheels are in the new ones?
good old sandpaper
well 20s work for me, if I drive at least 2k-3k miles a month and cannot imagine the ride on 30 or below sidewall tire. I ve done it before and had to straighten authentic alpina rims on my previous car once a year
Personally i dont think they look that small:

I'm also interested in what will happen without the TPMS. I haven't tried to put my OEM wheels back on since I put my aftermarket wheels on. If its just a message on the center screen without any flashing and dinging it would be nice to simply throw on the OEMs for a road trip 
BTW I DD my LS on 30/25 series tires 22"s putting also around 2-3k a month. I beat the heck out of my car

Sounds like you need some practice driving with rims. You can't drive the same way you would with factory rims and tires. I agree with FrankyBoy. They just look too small. Don't do the car any justice. Just keep your factory rims, they look much better. If you think the ride is that much of a difference with 22s, you may need to check your struts because it's not that much of a difference in these cars.

OEM sensors are less than $80 shipped for all four on eBay! I picked some up for my oems after I put originals in my 22s..also, Orange TPMS company can send you a set of cloned TPMS sensors so you can avoid reprogramming the TPMS computer for about $150...searching on this site will save you money!!
