Also make sure to tell them you have TPMS sensors inside your wheels.

It reduces the chances they will damage the TPMS unit during the tire removal phase, since they will be looking out for it. (before they start the process)

Not all OEM wheels have TPMS sensors, so don't assume the shop will know this little detail...

No valve stem replacement should be necessary if it's metal. (unless you have noticed a slow air leak from the valve stem itself)
LMB,

OK, so it's looking like I may be screwed. I bought a set of TPMS sensors from a Canadian guy who bought a set of OEM 19s from a US guy. He didn't need the TPMS, so he removed them and offered them for sale.

They look completely new and unblemished, and the valve necks are present, but the dill valves are not there. Are you saying, these are not likely to work?
