New Alloy Rims and Winter Tyres - tyre pressure sensor system

Hello,
I share my experience for any one else planning to fit new rims with winter tyres on a 2014 F20 with a tyre pressure sensor system.

I did not know that there is a device in the wheel it self, which is read to determine the exact pressure. I have seen they are called TPMS Sensors.

My wheels came mounted from the online shop where I bought them, but they do not have the TPMS and so the car does not read the pressure any more.

Bit annoying... I will look to buy them, seems they are around 50 dollars per sensor on the interweb or a bit cheaper on aliexpress.

Any thoughts or experience on buying these? I guess I will have to wait til I buy new winter tyres again, otherwise it will be expensive retrofitting just these.

The pressure gage was saved as preset on my button one
