I am assuming this........but yes, because they, as recommended by the manufacturer, need to be serviced (or rebuilt) everytime the tire is "broken" from the wheel.
Also, asked this question at a NATIONAL tire seller. He stated they would remove the OEM sensors and install them, after rebuilding, into non OEM custom wheels.
I guess the OEM sender/transmitter, that is attached to the sensor, is proprietary.

The sensor itself can be removed easily, the valve stem, I'm guessing, can then be pushed out. If I ever want to sell the stock wheels though, I'm going to have to buy another set of sensors anyway. A little help from the part number guru's? 
Edit: Nevermind, I already had a picture of the pn (15922396)
$30 a piece on gmpartsdirect.
I know I'm not the only one with aftermarket wheels. What did you guys do?

The tire pressure monitors is on 2008+ models for the HHR, so you may be the first to install aftermarket wheels on 2008 and deal with the problem but not the last. I would think whoever you get/got your aftermarket wheels from they should help you.

I haven't ordered them yet. I assume they come with the valve stem also, since it's different than a regular one. I'll probably go to the dealer pretty soon and see what they say, because the DIC warnings are getting annoying. I also assume that you will have to go to the dealer anyway to get them programmed.

Question about the 2008 tire pressure monitor:
On the DIC readout does it show you the pressure in each tire or is it one the systems which display a warming when pressure drops in one of the tires and then you have to figure out which tire it is?
My 2000 Impala had the latter type of system but I know digital pressure readouts are available on some GM models (usually the more expensive ones.)
