For $320 you can get the Autel TS508 along with 8 programmable sensors. If you already have the tool then the sensors are $30 each.. but buying the tool and 4 sensors ends up being $395, so for $75 less you get 4 extra sensors in the package deal.
Again, if you've already got the OEM sensors for the second set of wheels then this probably isn't the best route if those can work, but for anybody buying new wheels without sensors this is the way to go.

This is something I thought about doing, but unfortunately I didn't realize this until after I got the sensors from tirerack. I'd def recommend this for someone who hasn't bought an extra set of rims yet.
At this point I may just get the Autel TS501 ($200) which lets me read the sensor Id's and then set them (as discussed earlier in this thread we can use the camry setting to set the codes), and apparently if I do it right it'll work with the "2 sets" functionality.
That being said, I have found a sketchy copy of Techstream. I might load it onto a VM to purge it and then get a cheap burner laptop.
