TPMS basic question

I have an 04 MC. I replaced my stock wheels. With the TPMS in my 04 MC are there any sensors in my stock wheels, or is mine the system that uses the tire rotation sensor to just count tire revs and there is nothing in my stock wheel or valve stem?

You've got the one which uses tire rotation and the ABS sensors. Its a flat tire monitor, not a TPMS, you have to have very low pressure before it kicks in, you could ride around for months on a severely under-inflated tire before it warned you.

It was only mid last year they went to sensors, they're more sensitive.

tpms

I kept the aftermarket wheels and tires from my '06 Mini. How much should I expect to pay to set up these wheels for my '08 Mini.
