Can anyone confirm that Tire Rack TPMS sensors work on the EVO X?

I have some tire rack gift certs that are about to expire so I'm looking at getting a winter tire/wheel package from them. I have heard in older threads that some people have had issues with the dealer getting tire rack provided TPMS sensors to work. Can anyone confirm that they work on an X? I don't want to waste $140 on sensors that aren't even going to work.

Good news thanks. I knew that you had to take the car to the dealer to get programmed with the wheels on the car but I wanted to ensure that the ECU would properly recognize them seeing how they aren't OEM.

Only crappy part is that you have to go to the dealer every time you switch between summer and winter wheels. I can't understand why the system doesn't have the capacity to save at least two configurations. Probably done on purpose to force you to pay the dealership more unnecessary money.
