Just realized what has happened (and why Tire Rack asks if your car was 3/14 production or later). The TPMS has changed in these vehicles. If you choose a car with a prod date of earlier than that you still get the $220 modules.

I verified with realoem as well that that there is a change with these TPMS sensors and it does not appear that the older ones are compatible with these newer vehicles.

My guess of the price difference is that Tire Rack usually sells you aftermarket compatible ones but in this case these are still pretty new so they may just be handing you OEM ones, hence the OEM price.
