Default Another Wheel Question

I posted before about after market, upgraded wheels, my question is, I have a 2004 vert with 60,000 miles with the stock wheels, when upgrading is it better to buy new TPMS sensors or to use the ones from my old wheels? What is the lifespan of the TPMS? Thanks!

Generally, 10-12 years. Given the ordeal of removing the wheels, then dismounting the tires, and installing/balancing the new tires, replacing the TPMS sensors, at this point, would be prudent.
