Tpms hijinks..
So about 60 days or so after I install my expensive new wheels LR tpms says 28 or so. Others are accurate. Been working like a champ til then. Then it goes to 23 and hangs around. Figure tmps is dying. Replace. Reset. Same problem exists. Aggravating. Sone experienced this?
Thanks if you have info..

Not sure what LR tpms means. So, you replaced the bad tpms and it is still not reading the pressure accurately? The signal pickup for whichever sensor this is associated with may be bad.

Assuming correct replacement was used (cross reference 0009057200 433MHz), correct install, and correct pressure confirmed at tire, next place to look is CU see attachment.

So I'm guessing that you moved the tpms sensors from the old wheels to the new ones? How old were the old sensors? If they are over 6 years the batteries may be starting to go. The only way to get new batteries is to replace the sensors. I just had 4 new tires put on a set of 17" take offs that I had bought almost 3 years ago and I got 4 sensors off Amazon for about 30 something each that were described as OEM compatible. Dealer mounted the rubber on the new rims and the new sensors worked just fine without any special programming or issues. Batteries in the sensors can last up to 10 years, so you can take your chances that they will last long enough to get through a set of tires. It's also possible that the installer damaged one of the sensors putting them on the new rims.
