I believe you are correct, and you'll need to get different TPMS sensors for the new wheels.

), and you are correct. You need the 2010+ sensors for your car.

I believe 2010 sensors were superceded by another part number in 2011. The 2010 sensors are unique in that they can be paired to the car while in learn mode by releasing air. All other sensors need a tool.

The 2010 sensors are getting harder to find. I will likely have to invest in a tpms tool when the batteries on my current sensors go bad and I have to replace them. Thus far, I have been able to switch between summer and winter tires without the tpms tool.
