So I bought some new stock rims and tires and I was swapping the old ones out with the new. The two back were a little hard to just pull off so i gave them a slight kick and they came right off. I put the new ones on and started up my car. Ever since the new ones even after driving for a week it has not turned off. Any advice except taking it to dealership? Anyone else have this problem. Also I park my car for a few days or even up to a week at a time. (Before this happened btw) I would sometimes just be driving for a few minutes or just start it up and pull out the parking lot when a loud and very distinctive sound came from the right wheel/ wheel-well. It sounds like metal rubbing together almost like something is scraping really loud like a train trying to stop. I have no clue why and it has only happened twice. any ideas on that either? thanks - tuck..

 

Dude, did you swap the TPMS sensors over to the new wheels/tires?

 

If its something i had to take off the old then no. BUT i did install the new sport rims. so everything is oem

 

Yeah, you're getting the TPMS light because the sensors are in your other wheels, lol. Why did you buy new stock wheels? (curious)

 

I messed up two on curbs and got a great deal on two new ones so i decided to just make the switch.. and thanks, ill check. any advice on the sound?

 

Not sure, but iirc, you have an custom exhaust from a shop. I'd make sure all the welds are good and it's positioned well. It might be vibrating? I don't know though, that's my best guess. You're not lowered, are you?

 

i do but ive checked to make sure all the welds and flanges are tight. its def not a vibration more of metal scraping. and its not from the exhaust.. its from in the wheel well

 

Checked your brakes?

 

Regarding the grinding, did you happen to notice if it happened when you applied the brakes? Rotors can rust extremely quickly, within days, if not hours.. If left to sit until dry after a rain or wash, the minute amount of rust will make an awful noise until the rust is rubbed off by the pads.

 

This is probably it, the rotors can easily rust overnight, never mind not driving for a week.

 

There is a metal Shield that is behind the rotor to keep junk from getting on the rotors. sometimes this shield can get bent a little bit and will scrape (usually the outside edge of a rotor). also, small stones can sometimes get stuck between the shield and the rotors making that sound. If you can reproduce the sound, try pulling the shield away from the rotors just a little bit and seeing if it goes away. i've had this issue on a few different cars (most recently, the ridgeline)
