The dealer did ask if I could mount the stock sensors in the new wheels. I said I probably could, but it would cost me another $300 to have the tires mounted and balanced again, plus probably another $100 to have the stock wheels taken apart. (Fortunately, I haven't sold the stock wheels yet). I think it will be a lot harder to sell the stock wheels without the sensors in them, so I may have to order some sensors from GM. I'm sure they won't be cheap.

Ya. It is weird. Jeanius has my old 21s and apperently the sensors stayed paired this time. Bell040 isn't as lucky. Doing the same thing so your dealer may be right on. Let me know how it goes.
I know this. I'll NEVER buy a serviceable item on the internet again. You have nobody to help you. Everywhere you go for help you have to pay. If I had bought these from a local shop, I'd have my wheels right now. They would have driven it and had the problem taken care of. It's been 2 and a half months and I'm on jackstands right now.
TPMS sensors are just another thing I could have had done had I bought local. Any problems would be fixed for free, and immediately.
