Default Changing out the new TPMS

I have a 2011 and I see that the valve stems are rubber. On my 2008 they where metal and easy to take off the rim. Are the new ones any harder to take off? I'm going to change my rims and was wondering about getting the TPMS and putting them on my new rims. Has anyone done this yet? Thanks

I took them off my rubi takeoffs (2010 JKU) and installed them on new rims. Used a 10mm socket, took them out and reinstalled them... They will tell you when you go to order new rims that they can install some for about $300 (that's what they quoted me).... So yes, they are easy to take off and swap over...
