so .. when putting on some of aftermarket wheels, sometimes you ll need adaptive TMPS? or the dash board will have warning lights on?

You'll need to install compatible sensors in the wheels and re-initialize the system.

Yep. You can reuse your stock TPMS on most aftermarket wheels. I did that with mine. Had the tire shop take the TPMS off of my stock wheels, and put them on my aftermarket ones. No lights on the dash, no problems.
