If anyone wants a brand new set of original wheels and tyres, taken of a new car, TPMS sensors included, factory balanced, let me know on here, I will be fitting those in the image on day 1 of collecting the car.
Don't think your account is set up to receive emails. Think mine is if you would like to tell me how much you want.

The image of the standard wheel was taken from a forum, weight 43.1 pounds for a complete wheel, the TPMS sensors are £70 each from Toyota, and I purchased 4 of those as not to mess about with the new standard wheels, someone who may fancy another set of wheels for track days will still have functioning TPMS, and not destroy their road use tyres and wheels, a simple quick swop at the track day.

Out of interest how do you code the TMPS to the car?

Would also be interested in the the unlikely event the sale falls through and Dal3d doesn’t want them.

Just press the button in the glove box to reset I think

Did a bit of googling and I think you need some special equipment to recode them to the car

When I had the aftermarket wheels fitted with tyres and genuine Toyota GR86 TPMS sensors, the tyre fitter scanned the new TPMS sensors with his programmer, he ended up finding them under the Toyota CRH setting, as the GR86 isn’t a setting in his programmer, the programmer proved the sensors were functioning and displayed the code number of each sensor, as I haven’t got my GR86 yet, that’s all he could do, but the video on the previous post demonstrates that you need both the original wheel and second wheel together for the programmer to reprogram the code of the second set of TPMs sensors to match the original wheels TPMS sensors, so I will do this before I part with my Toyota wheels when I fit the aftermarket wheels.
Unless you buy your own TPMS sensor programming tool, it looks like you will have to take your second set of wheels to a tyre fitter in your GR86 and have them program them for you, that will be my way forward when I get the car in a couple of weeks.

Or I may buy the Autel MaxiTPMS TS508

Looks like the Autel won’t actually work on OEM TPMS sensors, it’s a mine field choosing a piece of equipment that’s for a DIY motorist, you end up at £800 plus for a tool that works on all TPMS sensors and can program via the OBD port, not sure if that’s what has to be done with the GR86, but I would be disappointed if I bought a tool for £200 and found it didn’t work, otherwise, it’s paying a Dealer to program the sensors to the car, it’s looking a lot cheaper, unless someone here has a value alternative that they know 100% works on our GR86.

Had mine for two weeks and other than a good coat of Soft 99 and a HKS drop in air filter I've used it as a daily driver. Only up to 500 miles of the 'running in' period, but it's a lovely (currently very dirty) car.

Lovely colour, definitely the stand out look in my opinion, Paid Toyota for mine today, waiting for some paper work to sign, so should she my car in a week with luck.
Wheels and duck bill spoiler to add immediately.
