I would like to think if you were to get different tires and rims, that there might be an option to purchase these RFID chips to insert in the new tire. I guess only time will tell.

??? Where did you come up with that????
You are joking aren't you?
GM uses tire pressure sensors that are built onto the inside of the valve stem. You can transfer them to new Rims but you need to make sure they are located the same distance from the center point of the rim as the ones they came out of.
Then you can either make sure the correct TPS goes back into the same postition as they came off or your can reset them as you said. but they are not "Chips in the tires"

By the way most Rim Manufacturers offer a set of new TPS sensors that are compatable to your make car. all you need to do is ask them about it.
