of not having a TPMS put into your new wheels/rims?

Having your TPMS light always on in your dash display... It will probably also throw an annoying TPMS code every minute or so on your display... Not knowing when you could be low on air while driving could eventually lead to your tire blowing out and u being stuck on the side of the road somewhere... Not knowing if your tires air level is correct can hurt your MPG... I could be wrong but I don't think it's such a good idea...

all very valid points. how of much of a pain in the ass would it be to swap them out of the stock wheels? or would it just be easier to get a new set and put them in?

Not a pain at all. You just need to take the tires off.

...which is a pain.

It's more of an annoyance than anything. That stupid TPMS light takes up the whole display on the dash so you can't see what the temp or time is..
