Winter set of wheels with non TPMS valves

[MIZEEKS]

Hi, 

2012 GS 250 Luxury

I've bought a used set of Lexus alloys ( 17x7,.5J) with only delivery mileage to use as spare set for winter usage for a couple of months/ k miles each year. What I had not taken into account was the cost of TPMS valves + sensors which require programming - frightening prospect on top of  pricey rims and  225/50 R17 winter tyres !

Can I use standard valves and ignore the dash warning light each season until the   original 18" "summer" wheels go back on ?

More relevantly - in this scenario is there any accompanying warning buzzer? - I couldn't live with that !

Finally - I assume the summer wheels can go back without further adjustment of the TPMS system - or am I naive ? 

 Or should I just abandon the project & resell my replacement wheels & tyres to  cut my losses ?

Advice/opinions greatly appreciated.

What have you been quoted for this?

Many tyre shops can do this, it doesn't need to be Lexus

Slightly complicated - tyres bought from private individual - afraid tyre fitters will punish me  - haven't yet sought price   - valves/ sensors cost  giving me the shivers .

Will warning buzzer sound continuously or will it simply be a display item if non TPMS (standard) tyre valves are used ?
