Worth buying another set of TPMS?

Starting to save up for some oz alleggeritas with some yokohama s drives. Been playing around with tirerack.com's checkout and contemplating wether or not i should buy another set of tpms. theyll charge an additional 196 for the tpms as well as free mounting and rotation (correct me if im wrong).

I was going to originally get them unmounted and have a local tire store take out my current tpms from my runflats and have them install/mount/rotate with the new wheels and tires. Anyone know how much i should expect for something like that? I need to see a tire store anyway to get an allignment check after getting the wheel regardless of wether its mounted or not.

I have paid anywhere for $10-$30 a tire for mount a balance. Call around and check prices.

The runflats will probably be more towards the $30 to remove and remount. If you are interested, I have a set available that I just had removed.

Also, you shouldn't need an alignment if you are just replacing the wheels.

Check tirerack.com under the installation (in the black band near the top). It would give you a list of installers and their guaranteed prices (including ratings) in your area. They also show the stores that do alignment, brake jobs etc.

I just dislike yellow lights so I would put the TPMS on.
