I just installed my mb's and I got them with the sensors and the light never came on and I never had the sensors programmed I have prob 1500 miles on them like this so I'm not sure if the computer picks them up or not?

Crap! That's a major rip-off! Especially when there's nothing wrong with the originals!
That's back to better than a pretty good deal - that's a steal! Unless that's just the labor and o-rings for moving them to the new wheels. Then it's not necessarily a rip-off, but $16 a wheel for moving the sensors seems a tad high.
OK. No way. Ten bucks each? New?? Really??? Check around for the current cost. Wholesale ain't anywhere near $10. Maybe these are very cheap Chinese lead-filled, melamine-laced, patent-infringement paper-mache copies. I suspect you got "new" existing ones transferred over for ten bucks.

Well, I went for a drive out of the city this weekend, and sure enough the TPMS light finally came on.
Enjoyed not having it for the couple weeks it lasted, lol.
Now I gotta get used to it (for a while) I guess.

Turned mine off yesterday, didn't want the TMPS in the new tires.
