I wouldn't think so,as the system works off of rolling radius and providing you set your tyre pressures and calibrate the system after the new wheels are fitted,there shouldn't be a problem.

Yes the button right next to the ESP is to reset the tyre pressure warning. Can't comment whether it's available to the US or not, but don't see why not?

Just found out there's a switch next to ESP for a canadian model, so driver able to switch on and off the TMPS to check the pressure. According to my manual, US model has TMPS but without a switch. However, it mentioned that if the replacement tires doesn't have sensor, TMPS will not be activated.
I called several numbers to sort this out, and noone can give me an answer, most of them said not sure if TMPS is a standard feature for US model.
but my manual describes the TMPS very clearly and the canadian model as well.
anyone has any infos?????

Here is a trick to find out if you have TMS. Check your valve stems, if there are metal or unable to be "wiggeled" you do. If there are just regular rubber valves and you can move them you are good to go. If you do have TMS as long as the installer puts the sensors in the new rims you won't have any issues.
