TPMS recommedation

I purchased 3rd party/aftermarket wheels and tires.
Of course, that darn diagnostic keeps going off since I have no TPMS...and I've been told that can't be turned-off.
Any recommendations for adding TPMS sensors to each tire ?
Will I have to get them rebalanced after the install ?
Is 433 MHz or 315 MHz recommended ?
Is it true that one must initially set the pressure of the tires to that recommended by Porsche when first installing the TPMS ? Then I was told the pressure can be adjusted later without throwing a diagnostic.

For 987.1 tpms is 433 MHz and no need for any diagnostics. Install the sensors, balance tires (needed) and put them on the car. You can select new tires through the tpms menu on trip computer and after driving for a bit they’ll initialize. I recently replaced mine and went with HUF
