Aftermarket wheels and OEM TPMS sensor

Hi I am new to this forum. I am looking for 18" winter wheels for my 2020 RDX A-spec and not all aftermarket wheels are compatible with OEM TPMS sensor. Are there aftermarket wheels that are compatible with the OEM TPMS sensor or aftermarket sensor is the way to go?

I asked the manufacturer of the wheel I wanted to buy and they told me it is not compatible with OEM TPMS but works fine with aftermarket.

What brand? That’s a pretty rare thing now as TPMS are pretty standardized now. Never had a problem going either ways with this.

I bought mine from the following link on ebay for my winter tires. They work like original one. Not need to program them. They will automatically sync after a few min.

We were able to use the factory TPMS with our Avant Garde wheels with no issue...

I'm pretty skeptical that the manufacturer knows what they're talking about here, they're just a generic maker of wheels so there's nothing special going on with their valve seats BUT the sensors that Costco sells are perfectly fine for you to use. Modern sensors are a dime a dozen now so don't worry one way or another.
