I heard only certain aftermarket wheels will work with the 350z tire pressure sensors. How do I find out if a wheel will work?

All should work if the sensor is mounted to the wheel (e.g., with an HRE band). Use the search function here......someone did a thread of how to mount the tire sensors to any wheel.

On the assumption that your question is asking how to fit the stock TPSs to aftermarket wheels in a manner that their function and installation is identical, the obvious answer is to obtain a TPS and test fit it to the wheel you are thinking of using. Basically, not all aftermarket wheel makers design their valve stem mounting hole in the rim the same. Some wheels, like Volk GT7 (IIRC), have their valve holes mounted in the exact center of the rim and need a special, unique "elbow" valve stem design. Other wheels like the fancier Modas with the set-screw three-piece wheel look, hide the valve stem behind a faux set screw head - which will prevent installation of a TPS thru the rim. The stock TPS requires a configuration such that the body of the TPS lies flat against (or nearly parallel with) the "valley" of the wheel rim. See picture for illustration.
HTH.

Here's the link to attaching the sensors to any aftermarket wheel that won't allow the sensor to be mounted like stock:
