Most likely the TPMS issue. They didnt install your TPMS sensors into the new wheels?

well your wheels are TPMS compatible, so guess your installer didn't transfer them?

Its Also Possible That They Broke A Sensor Mounting The Tires (if they installed the sensors in the first place)

if they didnt install the sensors go get you some pvc and make a tube to fill with air and throw the sensors in, thats what i did and works like a charm

you HAVE to install the tpms on the new wheels..

had to do this yesterday also because I installed new 20"s and the light also came on...
the system adjusts to the wheels so you dont have to go to the dealership to get em re-programmed

Thought about this as well... If you drive slow you should be able to hear it rolling around inside. At least I was when a tire shop broke one of mine.

you dont have to install them on the new wheels.. they just have to be under pressure.. mine have been in my trunk for around 5 yrs now

Ok, Im getting different answers on this thread.
Should I keep driving with the light on?
I asked my dad and he said dont worry about it, its the tpms sensors. Some of you said get them installed?
No i dont think a sensor broke there is no sounds when driving.

it will not affect your car if you drive with the light on.. We just mean if your wheels have the option of TPMS then you might as well put them in
