Just want to do this simple writeup and let everyone know I had great success with this method.
Instead of programming / reset a new set into the R8, clone the TPMS sensors to fool the car it still using the original TPMS sensors
1. Buy a AUTEL MAXI PAD ($49.99 )
2. Buy Autel MX-Sensor Dual Frequency (315MHz + 433MHz) Screw-in OE-Level Universal Programmable TPMS Sensors for Tire Pressure
3. Install and Open the Autel MaxiTPMS Pad Software. Go to AUDI Make and Select R8 specific
to your year.
4. Go to Copy Sensor Tab. Place the Autel MaxiTPMS Pad next to each stem of the TPMS Valve next to the tire and click TEST. This function will copy the code of the Factory TPMS Sensor ID. Once it beeps and test successful, place the new AUTEL TPMS Sensor on the PAD and Click Program. I copied and cloned each sensor one at a time and marked each sensor LF, RF, LR, RR.
Once it's all done I got the sensors mounted and install the new rims/tires on the R8. No TPMS lights or anything. The car didn't even realized anything had changed.
Overall cost was under $200.
