If you used the same sensors, and put them back into the same locations on the car, you shouldn't need to reprogram them.
It sounds like you were able to get the front sensors to respond? If so, I don't know what to suggest other than the possibility the rears were damaged during the tire mounting.

Reprogramming is often needed after tire removal.
With your new wheels, you may need a stronger magnet that you previously used.
You might try that, and make sure you are using the proper sequence.
Hope that helps.

I bought a strong magnet and then wave it around in circles in the area of the sensors... ...I waxed on and waxed off until it registered...

First, how old are your sensors? Their batteries do get weaker over time - maybe the new wheels are just enough to block a marginal signal. Also, did you get new tires at the same time? I have heard that the structure of some tires can also weaken the signal.

If they are not responding, try reprogramming them. If that doesn't work, then they may have been damaged when the tires were put on.
