Default C5 Aftermarket TPMS

I have a '98 C5. When installing aftermarket TPMS (sensors) in aftermarket wheels is there anything else that needs to be done to the sensors other than "relearning" the new sensors to the car using a magnet? (I do know the procedure thru the DIC). Is there some special programming of the sensors beforehand?
Anyone have a suggestions on decent snap-in style TPMS that will work on the C5?
Thanks in advance.

I bought these, and there's a video out there on how to relearn. Nothing difficult about it.

I had trouble getting the magnet to trip the sensors. I bought this magnet and it worked like a charm.

I've never heard of "snap in" sensors, for a Corvette, but there is a lot I have never heard of before with the C5
I would be sure and try to program them before having them installed to make sure they work.
