did you have the tire shop mount your factory tpms from your stock wheels to the new wheels? if not, TPMS will light up.

if you put yout stock wheels with tpms back on and drive around, the TPMS error light will turn off.

i guess you can have the tire shop sell you new tpms and have them program it to the car. but then, if you put your stock wheels with tpms back on, you need to get that paired again.

it's a pita. some folks bought a device to do it at home.

If your new wheels are TPMS compatible you can just swap them into your new wheels although you will need to break the bead again on the front face of the tire to do so. TPMS came on because your vehicle is searching for the sensors and cannot find them and will cause a signal failure code. After swapping them in you can usually just drive the car above 28mph for a few minutes to wake the sensors back up and the TPMS light will go off. There should be no need to rewrite the thresholds either for the sensors or do a new sensor ID relearn. Only if you put new sensors in but your old ones out of your stock wheels should work as long as the new wheels you have are compatible with the sensors. Many wheel companies now days supply wheels that are.
