Right, got the new alloys on today. BBS RA's of a bmw. theyre 14"s. It seems to make a weird noise whilst cornering. Although the tires are slightly flat. could this be to do with it?
Thanks
Photos on monday! lots of updates!

what noise is it? Pump up the tyres and see if it goes away? Did you check for warping of them before putting them on?
Stand back and look at them also, to see if your camber and/or tracking is slightly out

Its kind of like an intermittent noise like something is on the tire. And only happens when cornering! All I want to know to start with is that they're not going to randomly fall off for some obscure reason! On Monday, I think I will have them balanced and aligned. But definitely pump them up tomorrow!
Just need reassuring that they're not going to fall off... I know it sounds silly because its basically impossible!

Get some to check the wheels whilst you put them on full lock both ways to see if anything rubs, could jsut be that.
They shouldn't fall off if they were put on properly!

make sure all bolts are tight, so then the wheel shouldnt really fall off.
about the noise im not sure, may have to get it checked out???

The hub wont be too big will it? I dont think It will be it just looked bigger but that might just be the design of the wheel!
