Our Carquest stores in Canada sell TPMS sensors.
You shouldn't have to go to the dealer & pay $ $ $ $

If the new wheels weren't made with TPMS in mind, the OEM sensors probably won't fit (the valve stem is part of the sensor and needs a larger hole.) If this is the case, Schrader Electronics makes sensors that are attached to the inside of the wheel with a stainless steel strap, similar to a CV joint boot strap.
I surprised the wheel manufacturer didn't ask you if your vehicle had TPMS, which is standard on all new vehicles sold in the US beginning with the 2008 model year.

You should be able to find TPMS Sensors at most Tire shops (Discount Tire, Firestone, Goodyear, etc) They usually keep them in stock for when they break replacing the tires !!
