Default Squeaking noise with aftermarket wheels?

anyone experiencing this? one of my salesman said he had 2 customers come back with a squeaking noise coming from the front of the car, and that both of them had aftermarket wheels. just wanted to see if anyone else has been having the same issue.

I have the squeek too, however my wheels are totally stock. Whenever I accelerate and come to a complete stock I hear a whining noise.

I'd want to hear what the width and offset of the wheels are, and full pre-alignment measurements.

i'll try to find out, though i haven't talked to the customers personally. i thought it was kinda weird though. he said one the customer took the wheels off, and it was still there.....i wanted to hear the noise myself, but the customer wasn't here when i got here today.

well, considering this, and the fact that the squeak was present after the wheels were removed seems to rule out the wheels.

After taking into account how ugly the stock wheels are, the fact that the squeak has appeared on vehicles with aftermarket rims seems to be a likely coincidence
