Disabling the TPM for aftermarket rims
I have a 2003 6 speed Touring Z and I want to change out the factory wheels with aftermarket rims which will not work with the OEM tire pressure monitoring system. The problem lies in the fact that there is an audible alarm and dash light that activate when you remove the factory wheels. I know this is an advanced question, but if anyone knows the answer, it has got to be one of you.

I also have a Touring model and its my understanding that a sensor in either the valve stem or the center of the rim sends a signal to the dash, I also don't want to lose this feature but want aftermarket wheels. I met a guy last weekend here in Orlando who has a Lemans sunset track with 20 inch Lowenharts he paid 6000 for and is offering to sell them to me for 4000 with tires, because he owns a store here called RACING ZONE and is sponsored so he gets the latest and greatest(whatever)??????????????????

if you want to have the aftermarket wheels all you have to do is take out the valve stem and install it in the new wheel but put it back in the same pos. it came from lf rf so you dont have to recalibrate the sensors to the car. be careful not to break the sensors they run about 250$

what about rotating stocks?
So if you rotate your stock wheels they won't read that they are in the right place? Is that what your sayin?

the sensor is in the valve stem and can be moved to new rims. There is a light that comes on the dash if it does not get a correct reading but I am not aware of any audible signal. You are not supposed to rotate the tires on this car. Front and rear are different sizes.
