The run-flat tires and sensors are two different components of the system.
The OE tires have run-flat capacity- you can drive on them for a limited time with zero air pressure.
The sensors themselves are integral to the valve stem- they use a small radio frequency (RF) transmitter to inform the computer in the car of individual tire underinflation.
You can use a conventional radial tire (no run-flat capability) and retain the sensors: this will still let you know you have a "left rear 15 lbs."
If you go the other way, and retain the run-flat tires (but ditch the sensors), you'll be driving on a flat tire and not even be aware of it. The run-flat tire sidewalls are that stiff!
I would ditch the run-flat tires in favor of a performance-oriented tire, most of which will perform better, be quieter than, and outlast current run-flat tires. If I had an SC430 (with no spare tire), I'd want some warning that a tire is going flat so I didn't get standed with no spare tire...

BTW, that is the "rally sc430", for off-road use only (LOL)
Seriously, those are 19x9 and 19x10" wheels... but it reinforces mt opinion that all cars with aftermarket wheels should be lowered. Lower that thing, David! Jeez!

Erick you know you don't want to put those Euroline LS wheels on your future SC430..
Daygo718 has some hot looking 20" Work wheels that he might part with thou.. Drop him a PM..
Also check the FAQ in the SC430 forum and I attached a link with pictures of aftermarket wheels for the SC430 that might help with your decision making process.. If still undecided hit up Wheel Experts for some help..
Hope that helps!

I would go with 20" HRE's and lower it nicely. Don't go like that sc430 rally style. IF you can afford HRE's I think you should be able to drop drop it when u get the rims in? Wasn't there a white one with 20" HRE multi spoke ones?
