Default Tire pressure sensors

I'm thinking of buying a set of nice, used chrome wheels for my '98. They don't have the pressure sensors in them and I was wondering if the sensors in the wheels I have now can be removed and put in the chrome wheels. Or do I need to get new ones? Thanks for bearing with me, guys.

The wheels are chrome versions of the original wheels, originally on his '98. Just like what I have, except mine are painted silver. I'm pretty new here, so I don't know how to post pictures.

the sensors can be moved to those wheels and if you mount them at the same wheel position (left front on left front, etc.) you won't even have to reprogram them. As 8vette7 said above, the battery life may be coming to an end, but if they work now, they should work with the new wheels.

Now is the time to put new ones in and be done with it for quite a while.
