Did you install TPMS sensors on the new rims? Have you selected the option to accept the new tire pressure level?

I'm assuming that you installed TPMS sensors on the new wheels... Did you?

EDIT: Oops. akasigfreak and I posted at the same time.

Install TPMS or build up your annoyance tolerance

........................................... Well, there's your answer. Others have asked this question before. No solution to the sensor warnings (other than installation of sensors) has been found thus far.

yup did the same thing, basically there are small independent sensors on each wheel. you need to remove them from your stock rims and get them on your new setup, unfortunately not all rims will accept the sensors so you might have to get them custom installed.

what kind of tire shop doesn't swap the sensor or atleast ask you if you want them done? I'd make them do it for free.

I did the same *****. the shop didn't ask me if I wanted to switch them out. Now the warning comes on all the time.

In fact they are the same exact ones that are MB factory installed. About 71 bucks each.
