I purchased a 2015 fortwo pure that had only 9k miles and it looked like it had just been driven off the showroom. Because it had the steel rims and hubcaps i immediately wanted to upgrade to mag wheels. It seems like every Mercedes dealership is discounting smart car parts and I bougot four new OEM rims for less then remanufactured. Because the smart doesn’t have a big trunk,I took the rims down and had them mounted with new tires and new tpms sensors installed, then just drove the car down to discount tire and had them switch out all four wheels and trash the steel wheels but kept the hubcaps. i took the car to Mercedes for an oil change and the dealership says my tpms light is on and that the tpms that they put in at discount for $60 each do not work with Mercedes-Benz and it would cost $1,100 for them to install and reprogram the sensors. The service manager suggested I check to see if discount still had my old tires and put the old mercades tpms sensors on my new tires, since the tpms worked fine before I switched out the tires, i guess the moral of my story is I learned what everyone already knew in this forum, and that you need to do your due diligence and research a project and before discarding anything that you might have to buy back or have reinstalled by Mercede, since it wont be cheap
