I have a 2020 sport with the 22”s and I recently switched to a set of rebel rims and tires. At first the tpms light came on for a few Kms but then went off so I assumed it’s reset it’s self. Today I looked at the pressure screen and it’s reading unavailable on all the tires. I’ve driven about 150km since switching, is there something I need to do to reset everything ?

I'd wager it's an issue with the new wheels not having TPMS in them at all. That seems most likely. That or they're all bad, which seems less likely.

It could be an issue with the truck but that seems even less likely given the timing. I would take it back to the shop that mounted the tires and have them check that the TPMS sensors are installed and working.

The tires and rims came right off a rebel and on to my truck

If you are confident they are on there and work then I would disconnect my battery for ~30 minutes to reset everything. Then reconnect it and drive for ~15 minutes. If that has not resolved the issue have the TPMS sensors tested (any tire shop or probably even an auto parts store can test the sensors without removing the wheel). Maybe the person you bought them from removed the TPMS sensors and had them put on their new wheels.

I’ll give that a try. If there are no sensors wouldn’t the tpms light stay on ?

I'd like to say yes, because that would make sense, but I have a truck with underinflated tires and the light shuts off in it all the time for no apparent reason. I don't know why it does that -- the tires are well under half the PSI they are supposed to be (~35 PSI in a diesel, farm truck so it's low because it just drags things, carries random junk, etc so no need to have towing level PSI in it).
