Besides the Rubicon wheel looking nice is there a practical reason to changing to this wheel.
Also will the EVIC tire pressure still work?

I just picked up some Moabs off an 06, I noticed they have a wider stance. I dont know if its practical since alot of people do it, I personally thinks they make the KJ look meaner. Unless you transfer the TPM sensors into the moabs your EVIC is gonna keep telling you to check your tires. and the orange light on the dash stays on constantly.

the tire guy at the dealer told me that if you take the sensers from one wheel to another they may not seal up properly? he also said they are like 50 to 75 dollars a peice, and on backorder for a long time

Yes they will. I changed to rubicon rims (from an '04) and had ntb mount the sensors while they remounted the tires on the new rims. It was only a few extra bucks per wheel beyond the normal mounting cost. I bought most of my sensors off of ebay, but i haven't seen any listed recently. I got my fifth sensor from one of those trademotion driven mopar parts sites, and paid around 55 dollars for the sensor and valve stem nut. There was no wait beyond the shipping time, but things may have changed in the nine months since i ordered the parts.

Even tho i have an '05 KJ, my evic came out of an '04, so therefore i needed sensors from an '04. I installed the evic a month before i got my sensors. In that time, I didn't get the idiot light on the dash, but my evic did give me a missing sensor/low tire pressure message on startup. I hit the C/T button once and i didn't get it again until the next start.
