Default TPMS and bigger/aftermarket rims?

if i replace the stock rims (20's) with some aftermarket ones how do you deal with the TPMS warning. also what happens if you go with different tires that have lower tire pressures than recommended?

Default Tpms

Just take the old sensors out of your stock rims and put them in the new ones. Also I don't think they operate on a set pressure. They sense a percent change in pressure, so once they're set it doesn't matter what it's set at, just the change.

Default Yes.

Yes you can. Just check around for pricing, because when I checked the prices varied greatly. From $30 ea. to like $90 ea. Check ebay for mopar take offs as well.
