HELP PLEASE!!

[Craig]

I have (just yesterday) got wheels put on my car. They fit (with the hub adapters) but I have a ticking noise coming from the front right hand side.(I only got this with the new wheels) I have checked that it is not the hub adapters (as I took them off and tried the wheel on it's own and it still ticks). I have also tried other wheels nuts, but it still ticks. The ticking gets faster as you drive faster as if it is something wheel/hub related.

Anyone any ideas as it is driving me slowly insane....

I know what it is:D if it is the fox alloys.:question: there will be a small (tiny) stone loose/stuck between the chrome trim and the actual alloy of the wheel. You will notice the chrome trim is only stuck to the alloy and it is complete bugg£r to get out. Allay usually got the jet hose on to the job.
