Where would I be able to purchase tpms sensors and what kind would be suitable for aftermarket wheels?
 
Any wheel and tire shop would have them. My TSW wheels use a combo: the first installed were "Alligator", and I've had "Sensit" replacements on both rear wheels since then. So, when you consider OEM TPMS sensors, the sending unit is reading three different sensors and seems to handle that task okay.

buy metal valve stems w/tpms. Stock rubber is garbage. Idk of a single high performance car besides the stinger that uses rubber VS, shit my sonata had metal
 
Has anyone had a "Check TPMS" error on the dash?
I have 3 sets of wheels (don't ask) with 3 sets of sensors. Last week I wanted to briefly replace my rear wheels to check something on the other set.
The car quickly recognised the new rear sensors on the second set and displayed all pressures normally. However, 10 min later I got a "Check TPMS" warning on the dash that did not go away until I put back the other 2 rear wheels from the initial set.
While the error was on the dash I could not see any pressure on any wheel. The tire pressures were fine.
Now I'm thinking maybe one of the 2 sensors of the other set rear wheels gave up. But how can I check which one?

PS: I bought a second set from ebay - Genuine OEM TPMS Sensor Valve 52933j5000 QTY = 4 for 2017-2018 KIA Stinger G70 | eBay
The third came with the OEM genesis g70 wheels I bought.
 
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...

Go to a wheel shop and have them scan each sensor.

My wheel and tire guys have a handheld scanner tool and it can show if a TPMS sensor is sending or not; it can also reprogram the sensor.

My last "adventure" with troubleshooting a TPMS problem (right after I had the RR sensor replaced) involved scanning the new sensor to determine that it was sending, and a twenty minute drive and diagnostic (by Kia with their scanner), which also said that every sensor was good: yet all I saw was the initial "drive to display" screen. I checked for loose harness connectors under the glovebox (a la General Vodka's suggestion) and that worked: for c. three months, then "drive to display" returned, for a couple of days; and less than a week later again on the road trip home on part of one day. Since then (July) my TPMS system has worked flawlessly, reading both sets of TPMS sensors in both sets of wheels, i.e., switching back and forth while I had an out of true wheel repaired. Needless to say, I am leery of the next time the system flatlines, and my go-to LCD screen is the TPMS readout.
 
I remember seeing that the car can only learn so many sets of TPMS buy not sure what that max number is.
