Way to tell if TPMS Sensors are Installed w/o Breaking Tire bead?

OK so I bought some 18" LT1 wheels and tires and the guy didn't know if they had the TPMS sensors in them (which probably means they do not). They have the correct valve stem, but it looks like the sensor can be removed from the stem from pictures I have seen. Can I pull the inner valve out of the stem and see if it just passes through? I just want to avoid the trouble and cost in having the bead broke just to look.

The wheels are not on the car, they are just sitting in my garage.
