Default WH rims - where can I get some?

I have a WH Laredo with Grand style rims & tyre pressure monitors.

Where can I get a second set of rims (& tyre pressure monitors) at the right price? I have 2 sets of 5 tyres - 1 set of BFG KO's & 1 set of Pirelli Scorpions; both sets are 265/65R17.

Alternative is to sell the Pirellis if I can't source a 2nd set of rims.

Anyone know how to 'turn-off' the tyre pressure monitoring?

Suggestions please

Cheap rims would be JK Wrangler they are for sale often unless you really want matching all the time, they are only offset 6mm more. Or steels but JK Tim's often come up cheaper than new steels. Murchison Products carries steels from memory. Also depends how much you want to retain the monitors. Not sure if they work with steel. Cheapest place for Monitors would be US. Can't help with turning them off.

I have run a second set of wheels without the TPM's and after a few starts it stops warning you of no TPM.
I have a set of four WH Laredo wheels(No TPM) with OEM tyres (about %25 left) if you want to make an offer, they are in Mackay though.

Just be careful using JK rims as some like the MOAB's hit the front face of the Grands caliper on 07+ Grands I read. In the US they run a 1/4" spacer to clear it, but not legal here.
