I think you have to remove the tire pressure sensors from your oem wheels and put them on the custom wheels and have the dealer re-program them if I'm not mistaking.

You can reprogram them yourself if it works. If they're the rubber valve stem, you'll probably have to go to a dealer or a tire store.

If your tire OD doesn't change, then your speedo should be OK. Stopping distances may increase due to the extra rolling mass.
