TPMS purchase and program question
Recently I had a tire show 0 pressure. Reading on here, I see that is indicative of a dying sensor.
My car is an 07 z, so I believe these are the correct sensors 25758220.
1) should I do all four or just one? I worry about rim damage. A set of four is $96 on eBay new.
2) what's the cheapest method to program them? A trip to the dealer?
Thanks!

25758220 is the correct part number for '05-'09.
It's fine replacing just one.
Use caution if getting some brand other than OEM. There have been a couple posts recently about non OEM sensors being sold as compatible but they weren't. If you want to verify, find out the brand and number and ask back here before buying.
Cheapest place to get them programmed is likely a good tire store like Discount Tire/America's Tire who usually will do it free.

Rick, that's great advise.
Here is what I was looking at https://touch.ebay.com/tablet/item?i...ment=WatchList
Are there fronts and rears, or can I just get that?

Looks like they're selling OEM parts but I have no idea if they are. Looks okay by the picture and description IF that is what you actually get.
No front/rear, just one part for all 4 corners.

If what you get doesn't look exactly like the picture they posted online, I encourage you to post a pic of what you get here along with any ID numbers on it so we can check it for you before you start messing with install.
To be fair, the tire doesn't have to be "removed" from the wheel to install. It "can be" installed by just breaking the bead but it isn't super easy to work that way and a tech may not be aware or may not want to mess with it that way. Discount Tire is usually pretty good about such things though. Just sayin'.
