DIY flat tyre warning light but no flat tyre?!?

I've recently changed the wheels on my mini one to nice big(ish) alloys, but now the flat tyre warning light keeps coming on for no reason as there is deffinetely no flat tyre.

It does come on at first but after about a half mile or so!

Anyone got any ideas???? the flashing light is doing my head in!

Thanks

You need to reset the Tire Pressure Monitor System after changing wheels or tires or even adding air to the tires.

Resetting TPMS (from 2002 Owners Manual):
  1. Ignition key in position 2
  2. Press the button long enough for the yellow indicator lamp in the instrument cluster to light up for a few seconds
  3. Start the engine.
