the place that installs your rims/tires should switch them out of your old wheels.

that's what they did with mine. went from ls steelies to the SS rims/tires

If you get new rims, you'll either have to buy them with TPMS's already installed, or take them off the old rims and mount them on your new rims.
Either way, once you mount the new tires/rims to your car, you'll have to take your car to the dealer so they can calibrate the TPMS's to the positions on your car so your DIC will know which wheel is on what corner of the car.
This has to be done at the dealer because it requires a special hand held gadget.
My dealer does it for free any time I change my rims.

Bought replacement wheel sensors from the dealer (below retail) and had a chassis shop swap wheels and tires without having to go back to the dealer... (my 2010 was made in Dec. 2009)

Not true, you do NOT need to go to the dealership to calibrate the sensors. There is a procedure right in the owners manual for doing this. I did it with brand new aftermarket TPMS sensors, and it has worked fine ever since.
