New wheels (valve stems)

Just picked up some new wheels for my 05 cooper s and was wondering the best place to get new valve stems. I'm guessing I'll have to get new TPMS to go along with them? Thanks for the help.

2005 does not use in-tire rpms, but rather an indirect system that uses the abs sensors to count tire rpms....so ANY valve is OK...rubber is fine.

Awesome thanks a lot I was actually just reading some old threads on the forum and had a feeling I was heading in the right direction lol. But if I'm going to keep my tires on the stock wheels for the winter I'm assuming id still have to purchase new valves?
