i just put on my saleen rims the other day (see pics in talk).

i drove the car twice and i didnt have this problem. maybe i did, because both other times my windows were rolled up. its only noticable then inside the car.

anyway, the damn front brakes are squeaking progressively louder from 15 mph on. i pulled the wheels off, cleaned mounting surface, rotor surface, brake dust shield isint hitting, weights on wheel arent hitting, no clearance issue whatsoever.

the sound stops completely when the brakes are applied. does this just seem like a coincidence after me putting on new wheels?

the only suggestion/thing that makes sense so far, is that my stock rims didnt let the sound escape. the saleen wheels are more open and the sound is now escaping.

what do you guys think? i swear someone else had this problem before, search isint finding me anything.

ya its one of 2 things. 1 being the front hub barings or you brakes are getting low an need to be replaced.try jaking up the front wheel an check wheel for play up an down are barings an side to side is ball joints. good luck but it sounds more like the brakes an i dont think it has anything to do with the wheels.
