Tire pressure sensors

Hi All..
I searched this topic but didn’t fine a previous thread
The tire pressure sensors on my ‘15 550 are original and one of them has gone “ wonky”
I will be getting new wheels soon and want to replace all 4 sensors.
There are plenty of options offered on Amazon and EBay.
Should I go with OEM Mercedes or are aftermarket sensors OK?
I would appreciate any and all input.
thanks
Chuck

Any and all input will be appreciated

You can use aftermarket but if you get Chinese then you'll only get a couple years battery.

How do you know if they're lower quality? Are you saying go with OEM or are there non OEMs available that are as good as OEM?
Any links to a good brand/supplier?

Recommended would be OE brands such as Huf or VDO.

When I had my first S-Class in the early 2000s, the cost of TPMS sensors were at least $150 each. So glad prices are reasonable now.

I’m keeping it simple. Getting wheels AND sensors at the same time through Discount Tire. Sensors are $50 each installed and programmed. Warranty is 6 years or 72K miles.
