Nope, you'll be fine as long as you keep the same overall height of tire + wheel. I just got my 19's put on Friday, and ZERO problems with the car (lights/alarms as you put it) The only difference is, your tire pressure gauge on your on-screen comp thingy will just read -- for the tire pressures.

As I was saying about overall height, if you're going with 19's the size you should have is 35 for the tire sidewall height. Some people go with 30 but that usually throws off the vdc or will cause those "lights/alarms" But after a few days or weeks the computer just finally "gives up" trying to figure out the new tire/wheels.

the light will come on to indicate low tire pressure.... after a while it will go off.

my racing wheels dont have the TPS and I'll drive for three or four days with them and not get any lights

If you buy volk rims (like i did) the tire pressure sensor will not fit (no matter what you do).

mine, the tire pressure stayed as dashes. it came on whenever the car started, but didnt beep. generally annoying.

from what Ive heard, if your pressure was low when you removed them, itd be a problem(my pressure was low). others say that even if it was good when you took them out, it would set it off again after a long drive.

Yup, I got the same thing. "Tire Pressure Low" light came on after being on the road for more than a half hour and stayed on. Started the engineer up this morning and it reset itself back to no "pressure low" light.

What type of Volk rims did you get and why don't the sensors fit? I'm thinking about getting Volk GTC's but I want the tire pressure sensor to work. Are you sure they won't work with them?

I bought LE37 and just assumed they wouldnt work. Now I'v read somewhere that you can mount stock TSP on this type of Volk just like you can stock wheels. If someone can confirm this then I'll give it try.
