OEM wheels with the TPMS.

I have two sets of wheels for my truck (winter/summer) and the summer rims don't have the TPSM on them and the warning light is on all the time. Can the warning light be turned off or does anyone sell the sensors and bands so I can get them put on the summer rims? Or is it a dealer item only?
Thanks,

Yeah, I asked the dealer about it, $ 30.00 for the sensor and $70.00 for the band, thats per wheel..... thats more then I paid for the set of tires.

Get one of those black stickers you use for covering up bullet holes on your targets when shooting at the gun range, and put it on the gauge clear cover so you cant see the light. Thats what my dad did when he got aftermarket rims for his 07 Ford Edge.

This was worth the wait.

I got the truck in September 2007 and the rims in the summer of 2008 but the tires didn't come till that fall. The rims were on back order because every rim made that year was getting sent to Ford for the Mustang. Torque Thrust D Vintage with B.F Goodrich Radial T/A's 235 70 R 15. Got many a comp on that rim and tire choice. Old School...
Thanks,
