Does the tire pressure monitoring system work with 3rd-party rims & tires?

2013 Elentra GLS. I need new tires, and I also want to replace the stock rims with something "nicer." Will I encounter any TPMS compatibility issues with non-Hyundai rims?

While I have you, can anyone tell me why Hyndai's 17" and 18" rims cost > $300, while many 3rd-party rims are in the low $100's?

Thanks,

As long as the TPMS units fits the new rims then there should be no problem
It just becomes a matter of telling the ECU.

Don't know why Hyundai's rims cost so much.

Another guy said he puts his in his spare tire!!! Personally I'd like to shove mine up a certain body cavity of the idiot who came up with this stupid idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
