Thankfully TPMS doesn't care if you have OEM or aftermarket wheels. 
I run winter tires on non-OEM alloy wheels with no problems. When I swap tires each season, I reset the TMPS - job done. The European TPMS only checks the wheel diameter, so if the diameter changes because the air pressure is too low, you'll get a warning. As I recall, it won't tell you WHICH tire is low so you have to check them all.

They can be unfortunately, but once you're on top of 'em they're great.

You should be able to turn all these lights off right in the driveway by just turning the wheel left to right after starting the car--I've done this many times, you don't need to drive the car more than a few metres, TBH. If that doesn't work you will need to reset the TPMS with above procedure using the button (only facelift cars have it in the DIS); and the other lights using VCDS or similar.
It seems you've got it fixed now anyway but just a note these lights will always turn on if you disconnect/reconnect the battery and/or certain fuses in the vehicle.

This sounds like the same issue I had with my VW Passat about 6 months ago. I was able to swap out the offending speed sensor myself, and everything was as good as new.
