New wheels... Guys.. I just got some new Wheels on the Collectors TA.
They look absolutly BAD AZZ!!!
(I will post Pics soon)
But as soon as I bolted them on I am getting this squeek from the front right... like something is rubbing. It goes away when I press the breaks hard... but if I feather them I can feel it softly in the break pedal.
I did nothing other then pull the stock rims off and put the new ones on... Any ideas on what may have caused this?
By the way the Rims are 19x8.5 in front and 19x9.5 in back. Back has a 3" lip'd dish. THey look sexxxxyyyyy
Please help!

Nice! Very nice 
Seexxxyy indeed! 
What'd you do with the WS6 stocks that came with it?---kept 'em, I hope. You have the car I almost got, right before finding my 35th SS.

Update Ok guys I figured out what my "Squeek" was.... 
These Ruff rims are beautiful, but in the back where they have to fit the axle they where not machined deep enough. This prevented them from tightening completely and allowed the rotor to remain slightly slopy...
The result: 4 Broken studs upon removal... and about an hours worth of grinding with a die grinder. I needed to back the lip off by about 1/16 of an Inch or so...
What a pain...But now they fit nice and snug... just took some work!
