Corvette has had both the banded type of TPMS and in the C5s/C6s a sensor at the value stem. Yes, they have to be relocated to the new wheel.

I suspect that Lexus works the same way.

The sensors were transfered to the valvestems of the new wheels of my SC430. OTOH, I got HRE's for my G35 coupe & they are banded to the wheels by straps provided by the manufacturer. So I can still use the TPMS on both cars.
