Default air sensor wheels.

so xD have this sensor right for the rims..

let say i change my rims to low profile tires 18" instead of stuck rims

is that sensor need to be adjusted too?
because my rims need a 33. air whatever they call that to the stuck one
how about on profile rims am gonna change it need to be the same or

i have to change/watch out for my diameter also?

those the 18 give a bad issue on my ODOMETER? after changing from 18"
it will count faster or less?

Whenever you buy rims they should say whether or not they are setup for TPMS. Also what you want to do is something called plus sizing for your tires. The width and height of the tires will change but the overall height of the rim/tire do not change by much (less than 3% of a difference). Most of the guys with 18's normally run 225/40/18 size tires which is also what Toyota uses if you buy the TRD wheels for the car.

No, you keep the same inflation as the stock ones. And the sensors can be carried over to the new wheels, you will have to buy a rebuild kit though (we charge like 7 bucks a pop I think). And yes, your aspect ratio (the proper name for the second section of a tire size, btw) will have to change in order for you to keep the same diameter as the stock 16's.

a rebuild kit? when i had my xD, i went through 5 sets of wheels, every one used the tpms sensors from the stock, never used a "rebuild kit" and they always worked just fine.
