My Box came with 19's and I kept the 18" snows from my previous 01S. I too debated about getting the sensors but decided to do so. Who wants a dash light constantly on in a new car?

Checked the price of a set of sensors from TireRack and compared the price to OEMs from Sunset or Suncoast (can't remember which). There wasn't much difference and I didn't want to chance TR's not working, so I purchased the OEMs.

When I put the snows on, the TPMS senses a difference in size and asks if these are my winter 18's. I say yes and it reprograms for them. Simple and sweet - no dash light constantly staring at me.
