brake squeaks after m6 rep install?

Hey, i recently installed m6 reps 19's on my z4. After i installed them, i went out for a test drive.

I hear some squeaking noise coming from my wheels or brakes?

its kind of hard to explain but ill try my best..

It doesnt squeak when I brake rolling to a stop but once the car has come to a complete stop, it squeaks right after when the car pulls back a bit after the complete stop.

Anyone know what I am talking about?

lugs could be over torqued... Or maybe its only one of them?

Since it's tightened too much it caused the rotor to warp slightly and you only hear it when the car is moving at slow speed?

post some pics!

i was skeptical at first putting on these wheels because of my non-sport suspension.. but in all, it came out pretty good. The wheel gap ain't that bad.

Any progress on the noise?
I'm looking to get the same style wheels for my MC

Where did you get yours?
Are the rears 9.5 or 10 wide?

It still squeaks a little bit but the squeaking goes away after 5 minutes of driving. I'm gonna retorque my wheels later this week to see if it helps or not.

I got my wheels from a guy from ebay HubRingKing. He has it for about 1700 shipped. The bargainer that I am (i'm chinese), I contacted him directly looking for a better deal. Fortunately for me, at that time, he had a customer returned some m6 reps with general tires because it didn't fit his 3 series. The seller wanted to get rid of it fast so he letted them go for 1400 shipped

These are 8.5 front, 9.5 back.

You kidding? It looks like a 4x4...looks at my 525i (in my sig) before it was lowered...same thing.
