Default Oem wheels on 2014 Q5 hybrid

I own a 2014 Q5 hybrid and I plan to install 4 oem 20" turbine wheels. I'm wondering if anybody had problems with installing oem and tpms?

Audi uses a TPMS approach that doesn't require a sensor in the tire. The approach uses the anti-lock brake and other sensors to detect that a tire has low pressure via vibrations.

So don't worry about TPMS sensors when you change wheels.

So whatever wheel I will use for winter, if I pick the TPMS sensor option (in Canada), I won't have to pay more for TPMS sensors ?

I should have ticked that box....I like knowing my tires are low on air, but hate the maintenance usually associated with these sensors.

The wheels on the link look nicer than OEM for some reason.
