With sensor-less wheels, you'll get one extra "chime" shortly after startup. Other than that, the only other thing you'll get is the warning message displayed in the little LCD screen above the odometer reading. Barely noticable if you're not looking.

Once you put the regular tires back on, all is back to normal.

This behavior is different than the behavior you'll get if you have a tire with a sensor but no air pressure. With this scenario, you'll get a chime about every 10 seconds which won't stop.

You cannot use the Comp Coupe wheels without them sticking WAY out. They have a different off set for the wide body of the CC.
