TPMS on Aftermarket for the R56

My husband and I have been researching wheels and tires for our MCS due to be here within the next week or so. The problem that we have been having is that the places that we have found wheels and tires that we like do not offer the TPMS. So we would have to order the wheels and tire and then order the TPMS. Install the TPMS ourselves and then take the tires and wheels to have them mounted. Problem with this is that we would have to pay for a lot of items that are normally free when you get everything together (mounting, balancing, ect.) The only company that we have found that will do the TPMS installation is Tire Rack. Are there any other companies out there that offer the TPMS installed? Did you go with/without the TPMS on you aftermarkets? Any other suggestions?
Thanks a lot!

National Tire and Battery moved TPMS from the OEM wheels to my new Rotas without any problem

I think if you call and ask the company to order and install the TPMS sensors they'll do it. I am surprised that your having trouble. I too am ordering a set of wheels + tires, and have had no trouble getting the companies to order + install the TPMS sensors. (I am ordering through customwheelsdirect.com).

Most don't show the TPMS on their site, yet they all seem to be willing to order and install it.

Tirerack gives me the most confidence from their site, yet their selection is extremely limited in my opinion.

It is a little more trouble but i removed the tpms from stock wheels and had them installed into new ones it is alot cheaper than buying new tpms. most tire shops have no problem doing it that i have found.

Thanks for the advise I have contact a couple companies through email, but maybe I should call and speak to someone. I agree Tire Rack makes it the easiest, but their selection leaves something to be desired
