TPMS question

I have some aftermarket wheels that I'm going to be putting on my car when it gets here. Can the wheels be balanced beforehand (without the TPMS sensors) or do I need to wait for the car to arrive. I'm not sure how this works?

You'd want to wait until the sensors are in place to balance your combo. The tire and wheel balacing does not need the vehicle present, but the TPMS sensors go into the wheels - required prior to tire mounting
