Hi guys I tried many things and nothing works!
Let me tell you the whole story of yesterday:
I went back to the guy who installed my wheels and...
1. We took the tire out of the wheel which is making that noise and we found nothing!
2. We put the wheel back and it's still making noise. The guy decided to move the wheel on the right side and noise moved with the wheel. He just wanted to make sure that the hub is not defected because if the wheel, the hub is fine
3. He said maybe the screws around which are holding the wheel maybe need to be tighten! We did that and it doesn't work...
4. I asked him to check on the hub-centric ring we found the rear wheel which is not having a problem with out a hub-centric ring! Then he went back to check the wheel which making the noise with 2 of them that's why if you could see in the first picture the guy is holding them...
5. I complained to the manager of the shop and he said I will fix it. We can create the hub-centric ring in no time and it will be the same and made from the same metrial.
6. We thought this will solve the problem but it doesn't, so I left without any other solution...
Is this dangourse? and do you think this might get worse? Do you advice me to stop driving with the wheels till I findi solution?
Your advices and comments are welcomed..

not sure how loose screws mounting the face to the barrel would cause a ticking sound or how a hubcentric ring would cause that. hub centrics are just so the wheel is completely centered on the car and to reduce vibration.
if you examined the rim to be good, then I would double check the tire for nails as a nail in it would def. cause a clicking sound.

There is a guy who bought wheels for his 350z, not volks but a japanese brand. It made a clicking noise and he wasn't able to find a solution but what he found out was that the area that the lug nuts fit was missing material, it had worn away or was sanded. Sorry I don't have the link i think i read it on my350z.com
