I have installed my VOLK GT30 2 days ago and it seems I'm having a problem with the rear wheel

We all know it's a 2 piece wheel and I'm not sure if the wheels pro guy I asked is right or wrong.

When i drive there is a clicking noise while going forward and reverse. click click click click... While driving fast the noise goes faster and when I drive slow it just goes slow.

My friend told me the 1 of the screws on both pieces of the wheels need to be tightened is that correct?

Did anyone have this kinda problem before and what did you do to fix it?

I'd check to make sure nothing it hitting one of your rear links... Like a TPMS wheel sensor, edge of inside wheel, etc.

I had a TPMS scrubbing on a rear link before and had to add some 3mm spacers.

I wouldn't think a loose rivet on the wheel would cause that.

TPMS hmm... excuse me I'm not that good at cars...

you mean this? Air sensor?



If you mean that I really don't have it installed.

^ yup thats the tpms. Are you rubbing against the rear bumper bracket? That might be the cause if you are running larger sized tires and lowered.

Rock stuck in your tread?

Good Call. I'm had similar noise and it turned out to be a nail in the tire. Check your tires.

The first photo is a hub-centric ring. The second one is so out of focus who knows. What did this have to do with your clicking sounds?

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?
