here are two pics.... I'll take more tomorrow...
I took my new rims to some tire shop in the area and what they did was take the sensors from my old rims and install them in my new ones... there were no issues....
thank everyone
hope you like the pics

Just to get my head around this: You guys have TPMS with sensors on the rims? AFAIK TPMS here does not care for the rims, it takes the data provided by the ABS sensors, calculating wether a single tire starts to rotate at different speed.

Just like you said is. There is no sensors on the rims.

2012 C63 AMG
US vehicles require an active TPMS which includes pressure monitors attached to the valve stem inside of the tire. Other places such as Europe, Canada, etc. use the passive method by measuring rotational speed of each wheel etc. Easiest way to tell which one you have is to look at your valve stem. If it is rubber and flexible, it's passive. If its metal and fixed, it uses a sensor.

C63 rims look nice on your W204!
