It's not that aftermarket wheels don't have the sensors, it's that you sim[ply didn't have them installed on those wheels. Pretty much all wheels today accept the TPMS sensors. With such low profile tires, I wouldn't drive without their display up all the time. It's the first clue that you have a serious issue. It finds the problem before I will feel it on a 30 series tire!
No--it's not a simple thing. You could have a service department shut it down.

There are a lot of aftermarket wheels that can not be fitted with the TPMS sensors.
I imagine you'd need a dealer with the factory PIWIS tool to turn off the warning.
That said, no dealer in their right mind would have anything to do with disabling a TPMS system. It's against the law and the liability would be huge if anything was to happen with the system disabled.
