metal bands for TPMS for SC430?
Im looking to purchase a set of aftermarket wheels for my SC430 in the 19" size..
My concern is the tire pressure sensors. Im not sure if the car requires metal bands to secure the sensors to the new wheels.
If I need them, do most tire installation shops stock this hardware? I'd hate to have my stock tires dismounted and the sensors taken out just to find out that I cant put them on the new wheels because im missing a metal band...
where can you order these things along with hub-centric rings?(do most tire places have the rings in stock?)

you got the idea wrong. you need the metal band if you can't fit the TPS on your aftermarket rim, so the wheels are the deciding factor
personally i am against the idea, i still don't think that's the right way to do it, and our local shop (specialized in tire wheels and balancing, did jobs for lexus) refuses to do this on any wheels. but a few members did it here
and rings, you can probably talk to d2autosport. but you need to know the bore of the wheels you getting. usually it's 73mm, but you need to make sure
