TPMS sensors in 07 MCS?

I'm reading conflicting posts about whether there are TPMS sensors in my '07 S. I'm changing wheels, and need to know if I need to remove the old tires from old wheels to get the sensors out, or if they measured the tire in '07 by the rotational measurement from ABS.

Anybody know for sure? Do I have actual sensors in the wheels or not?

Do you have metal or rubber valve stems? TPMS equipped wheels have metal valve stems. Older ones have rubber stems. TPMS was introduced sometime in 07, so you could have either, do you know the build month?

They are rubber. So no TPMS sensor then? Just want to make sure.

no TPMS, just rotational sensors.
