Default TPMS problem

I just put new tires and wheels on my 05 vert.
the sensors were reading incorrect pressure.
I took the car to my local chevy dealer to fix.
Picked up the car and it read the same as when
I brought it in. The service man told me to drive it
and they would calibrate after a few miles. 200 miles
later and after adding air they still read the same as
when I originally got the wheels. I purchased the wheels
and tires together with new sensors. Anybody out there
have any suggestions on what the problem is?

This is Bob at Fichtner Chevrolet,

I just ran this by our service manager and his comment was "WHAT?"

He said you have one of two things. Either the sensors are the wrong ones for your car, or you need to have them reprogrammed. Verify the sensors are correct for your car, if they are have the system reprogrammed.
