"Putting aftermarket rims on a GT-R is different story: Because of a sensor located near the valve stem in each wheel, it isn't possible for the car to run on aftermarket rims without throwing an error code. All blinged-out GT-Rs at Auto Salon got there on stockers and only then were the shoes changed."
Most cars these days have sensors built into the wheels to monitor tire pressure. Its actually a federal requirement. FMVSS # 138. Tire Pressure Monitoring Equipment. It won't take long to figure out how to mount the sensors. Tire Pressure Monitor information on Wikipedia 
TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS ARE IN ALL 2007 AND NEWER VEHICLES THEY ARE ABLE TO GO INTO AFTERMARKET WHEELS THEY JUST SCREW INTO WHERE THE VALVE STEM GOES
