Default Newbie Nismo Wheel Question

Hey guys. I did a search and could not find an answer to the following question. So here goes.
I just got my '05 Touring with TPS and VDC. I want to install a set of Nismo GT4 wheels and noticed that the Nismo parts list I got indicates that the wheels MUST be used in combination with the Nismo shock / strut / sway bar kits, otherwise the VDC will not work properly. I understand the unsprung weight thing, but what is up with this? Adding all the extra parts is just not an option at this time.
Has anybody had a similar problem and is it really an issue?
I am sure the TPS can be installed in the Nismo wheels and then possibly recalibrated.
Finally, are the "Anniversary wheels" available as separate sale items? They are also in the running.
Thanks for any help.

This has been addressed many time before. In a word it's total BS. with the recommended tire size they work just fine with VDC, TC or whatever. I have them. and lum 'em.

no, the rims do not need to be used with all those parts listed. and the tps sensors will work on the nismo wheels.
