if you are going to be purchasing 1-piece wheels, then all you need to do is deflate your stock tires, and pull out the TPMS (valve stems), and transfer them onto your new wheels.
if you are going to be purchasing multi-piece wheels, then you will need to deflate your stock tires, pll out the TPMS, drill a hole 180 degrees away from the valve stem, and install the TPMS there before mounting and balancing your tires.
I don't recommend you do the second method by yourself, as a misdrilled hole could be a very costly mistake!

those wheels are 1-piece cast wheels. You will not need to drill for TPMS. Just remove them from your stocks, and insert them in place of the valve stems. You'll be all good.
if you want any further guidance, my friend is selling the EXACT SAME wheels off his W211 in 20" staggered.
let me know if you are interested.....PM or email me.
thanks,
