    Rear noise with new wheels installed

    When I put on my aftermarket wheel, there is a metal noise that gets faster the faster I accelerate.

    When I put stock Basket weaves on the noise is gone

    ideas? :(

    Probably rubbing the caliper anti rattle clip and clearancing it (grinding). Check for signs of this.

      what wheels are they, are they hub centric, are you getting any vibrations too

            There was no evidence of a rub on the inside of the wheel like reelizmpro mentioned?

              could the different tires be making the noise, like if they are cupped from a previously bad alignment?
              if the rims arent hubcentric you should buy the reducers

                I think its the bolts hitting the ebrake cables inside the hub. Had the same problem with my old wheels. Try throwing on a spacer and see if it goes away.
