Help! Airbag light on after changing wheels

Hi all, so after ditching the run flat tyres, changing my wheels and tires, the car drove so much better and handling had improve a lot but immediately after that was done, my airbag light illuminated on the speedometer. Has anyone experienced this? How do i go about getting the light to switch off?

Are you sure it is for airbags? You need to reset the flat tire monitoring system when you change wheels, tires, or even adjust tire pressure. That may give you a light.

I can't think of how a wheel change could affect airbags. If it is truly an airbag light, it is probably coincidence.
