Default Tps Bypass?!?

OK I searched and searched and found no answer, maybe there isn't one? Is there any way to make the warning light go away if NOT installing TPS with new wheels? My wheels are coming tomorrow and there are already mounted and balanced and I would rather not have them taken apart and really don't care about TPS.
BTW I have an 05, so will I also have that horrible warning sound every time I drive?

i run wheels with no tps in them.
i have no issues.
you won't get a chime, or a warning light at all.

the only time you will know that you arent running a tps is when you are pressing the computer button and scroll through all the options.

the TPS light will go off as if you have low-tire pressure on your dash...

all the TPS sensor is is the OEM wheel's air valve... take your wheels to a qualified tire shop and they'll swap it in for you.

mine has no issues at all either...no warning lights, no beeping, nothing. I've read somewhere that there is a way to bypass it IF you do get the beeping / warning light. It is done by unplugging the TPMS control module supposedly located under the dash on the passenger side. Never tried it myself tho...could be wrong.

not true...the tps light in your dash will come on if you drive your car for like 50min-1hr, then resets after you turn off/on your car...not really a big deal but it annoyed the heck out of me so i will be mounting my sensors in my aftermarket rims...
and about the bypass...i also searched for a while for such a thing but could not find anything on it, so i guess there is no bypass

I put on some Volk GT-7's, which wont take the TPS off the stock wheels and was only getting the light every so often. I unplugged the battery this past weekend though and now the TPS light is always on and I occassionally get an alarm too - which sucks! I'd like to know how to disable this too... if possible.

No light for me unless I drive on the high way for over 50 miles or so. Not really an issue. Warning buzzer has never gone off and I thank heavens for that. First time that crap went off when I had my stockers on I about ran off the road, its freakin loud at 6am with the radio off just cruisin down that highway thinking of happy little trees.
