AIR PRESSURE MONITOR QUESTION

Hey folks, I am planning on upgrading wheels and tires real soon for my 2005 MCS and I was wondering waht to do about my tire pressure monitors. Should I have them put on the new tires? Can I even do that? What will happen if I just run a whole new set of tires and wheels without monitors? Will the indicator light just go nuts all the time? Any help would be greatly appreciated because I really want to get of these run flats ASAP. :impatient

ON another note does anyone know a good website to order rota slipstreams 17x7 or 5Zigen 17x7s ? edgeracing.com has good prices for the 5zigens but they won't offer me a package with Flaken azenis.

Thanks everybody

On a 2005, there's nothing on the wheels/tires to switch - the sensors work by monitoring the wheel rotational speed, not by actually measuring the psi... they didn't add the in-tire sensors until the mid-2007 builds.
