TPMS removal?

I dont have much knowledge about the TPMS but I just got new wheels. Should the place that put my wheels on take the TPMS sensors out? I dont even know what they look like or anything. I am selling the wheels and want to sell the TPMS with them but im not sure what they look like and I know they wernt taken off with the stock wheels so they still must be on the car even though they dont work with my new wheels. Any input ASAP would be good. Thanks

The TPMS sensors in the wheels are integrated with the air valves. These sensors cost in the neighborhood of $100 USD, so if you want them removed correctly without damage, take the wheels to a Mazda dealer. iI they the dealer destroys them they will have to provide you with new ones.

Also, if your new wheels are compatible with TPMS, you might want to look into having the sensors installed on them. Keep in mind, if the cars computer does not "see" the sensors, you will have a constant error light on your display. A few owners have had success in shutting the light off and those that have needed to start clipping wires.
