Tire pressure light?
 
Hey all, so I went for a drive on the highway for about 30 min and the tire pressure light started blinking and stayed solid.
Pulled over to a gas station and checked. Tire pressures were fine.
I put them all at around 35 anyways but the light still blinks and stays on.
I have an after market rims but haven't had this problem before, buddy of mine says he's thinking that it's my new rims, is this normal for after market rims?
Thanks y'all

Did you transfer the TPMS sensors to the new wheels? If not, then that's your reason.

Do the new wheels have the tire pressure sensors from the original wheels?Most places won't swap them in unless you tell them to.

That's most likely what it must be then,
But why did the warning light only go off now? I've had this new set of wheels on for awhile now... 🙄

Were your old wheels in your trunk/back seat until now? :p

Maybe the batteries ran out of juice? That's my guess

if they are near the car when the car starts(in the garage), then no light will come on until 30mins later.
