aftermarket rims
I'm probably going to buy some aftermarket rims with tires. I hate the runflats on my '99 HT. If I don't use the pressure senders, what will happen? Will a warning light show up on the dash?
I hate to buy wheels/tires, and have to dismount them and the OE ones to just install the monitors.

Re: aftermarket rims (loudes13)
If you're dropping that kind of money on new wheels and tires, why not spend the couple hundred more and buy a set of sensors too? This is what I did, and I have kept my OE wheels/sensors/tires all intact and ready to use if the need would arise.
The sensors are a very common item to see for sale on the parts forum here...you could probably find a deal on a set of 4. If you decide to do this, there are 2 style sensors for C5's...you need the early style sensor which were used on 1997-2000 cars. 2001 and newer sensors will NOT work on your car.
If you choose not to use sensors, you will get a "service tire mon. sys." error message on your DIC everytime you start the car. You can press the reset button to clear it.
