Default Change Wheels with tyre sensors

Hi all

Im looking at changing the wheels on my focus titanium, however have a tyre presure sensor on the computer. Iv been told this may cause a prob if i just swap them. I take it i'll have to buy new sensors?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers, Louie

i beleve they replace the valve so you may find you can swap them to the new wheels
do they look different when looking at them? maybe the fit my pulling thru maybe they fit a recess or something on oe wheels
tho last time i went in for tyres on my van the guy said they keep a few certain types as they always break and they warn before changing they will break
