Does your tire pressure sensor go on?

You might have a puncture in the seal if you have a 3 piece wheel

might of happen during install

I was watching a tv show and they were installing a 3-piece wheel set. They were running a bead of silicone along the inner seem. Not sure if that's something a local shop can do.

you might need a new valve stem. It happened to me with my moms car so i replaced the whole stem and "Boom" it stopped the leak.

You might also want to have the dealer check your rims for hairline fractures.

I had that problem too when I changed my rims. They didn't use the rebuild kit when they transfered the TPMS. I had them reinstall with the kit and everything was fine.
Just a suggestion.
