So pissed off! Weird noise after install new rims! Never heard it before. Anyone knows why?

We've all been in the I want it done now situation and we've all regretted it.

You can relate man. When the moment we got the new parts, the excitement man. Lol. I gotta learn how to be patient.

That makes it even more weird! Let me describe it! So, I asked them to run 34 psi for all 4 tires. It turns out to be 3 tires have 37 psi and one tire has 34 psi. And the low tire pressure warning light on, says something like: Please inflate your tire to 37 psi. WTF!

Fill it to 37, drive it so it resets and then lower it to 34. I have seen this message on my JTRD before. The only head scratcher is, I know mine went below the "low" threshold. Yours must have at some point as well.

Try swapping the wheels around and see if the sound follows the tire and rim or continues from the same side. Isolatation is the first avenue to troubleshooting. If it moves with the tire and rim then you have found the culprit and you start looking at tire, balance, etc. If it stays at the rear then the problem is on the jeep side. Try a smalll spacer and see if that makes a difference. Got to isolate it before you can fix it.

He already figured it out. The shop that balanced the tires put weights where they’re hitting the caliper.

As far as I know the tire pressure monitors connect in their own after about 20 miles or so. There is no need to program them or anything. Did they swap your original sensors to the new wheels?
The sound sounds like a dust shield lightly rubbing the disc to me. They are just thin tin, so easy to bend by accident.

Took the words right out if my mouth. Had this very thing happen on a 2015 jeep I owned.see if dust shield has bent into backside of brake rotor . Bend back out slowly with hands or thick screw driver.

It'll be a while, but holding a Jeep past warranty scares me.

Wow. No Discount Tire shops in central/east Massachusetts. That’s a bummer.

 

[Dougstdig]

I was about to reply stick on weights but you found the problem. I’d take the wheel off and try to make sure it hasn’t damaged anything. They will probably have to rebalance the wheels and use knock on weights.

I was going to recommend the same thing. OP isn't the first to find this out the hard way...

Fr bro. I can't believe it. It sucks. We have VIP tire, Sullivan tire, Fire Stone, and Town Fair Tire. Have you heard any of those?
