ESP malfunction

has anyone encounter ESP malfunction before?
I changed all my wheels, from OEM 17" 10 spokes stock to OEM 5 spokes AMG wheels.
right the way, fire up the engine, got ESP error.
I don't think the car is smart enough to know the wheel got changed.
please help!!

I just had that last week and took it to the dealer and it was fixed under warranty. Something was defective with the sensor.
