We took aftermaket wheels which we had on an '04 Expedition (no sensors), and put them on an '07 Expy (with sensors). The warning light came on. Les Schwab, a local tire store, took the sensors off of the '07's wheels and put them on the older wheels which we were keeping on the new Expedition. We had to order a new attachment kit from our Ford dealer which consisted of straps and epoxy. The warning light cleared by driving around on them a little.

the easiest way around it if you dont want to have the tires un-mounted, and then re-mounted, is just to put the sensors inside a PVC tube, and pressurize the tube to the computer thinks they are inside the wheels correctly. then just hide the tube somewhere and your all set.
