Default wheel sensors

Where is the best place to get new wheel sensors.(tire pressure sensors) only one went bad, do I replace them all when I get my new wheels?

I found that our forum vendors are probably cheaper than anywhere. You didn't say what year your Vette was but from your profile I see it's a 98. I would try retraining the "bad" one for now and replace when all when you swap wheels.

Most will say the sensor batteries have a life of about 7 years but I have an 02 and already had to replace them.

Your sensors are nine years old. One has gone bad, the others soon will follow... nine years is on the long side of 1st gen sensors...
You need to replace them all
the cheapest place to get them is from forum Vendor Fred Beans
330 dollars delivered.
