I mounted the winter tires on the OEM wheels, and got lightweight wheels for the summer tires. I also left the TPMS on the OEM wheels and no TPMS on the summer wheels. This leads to the TPMS light being on during the summer, but that doesn't bother me anymore.

If you want TPMS on both wheels, you'd need to add the sensors and a reader to hook them up to the car. I believe TireRack offers a reader as well, but there might be cheaper options elsewhere. Do note that you'll need the reader at each tire swap to reprogram the TPMS sensors in the car.
Finally, there are TPMS sensors that can clone your existing ones, so that when you swap wheels you don't need to reprogram the car.

Since I didn't add TPMS to my summer wheels I can't recommend on any TPMS related products.
