    Depending on the new wheel the TPMS should be able to be swapped. They should rebuid them but that's not expensive. Why wouldn't you just find rims you like in black instead of buying rims and then paying to have them powder coated?

    As long as the OEM and aftermarket wheels are aluminum, they will work.

    Yeah if you have steel oem wheel they will not work on new aluminum wheels. There are ways to make them work but I haven't tried any of them.

    if you get them powder coated get them like in this pic. keep the lip polished and powder coat the inside part black. looks cool to me :)
