Not sure what to do.....
Bought some wheels for my impreza has seen here
Looking good :-)
Issue is, bought them 2nd hand off a company online, now they are very very close to the calipers, but still clear.
After driving the car it appears the wheels are catching the calipers on the front. Took the wheels off yesterday to find its only catching on 2 of the 5 spokes, my conclusion.
The wheels are buckled.
Now unsure what to do with them

Get them down to a wheel shop to see how bad they are.
You could try contacting the seller about it or maybe use some small spacers. And while they are off the car you may as well give them a lick of paint, white wheels just dont do it for me bud. Each to their own though.

Take the car to any tyre place..... get them to put the wheels on the wheel balancer.... spin them up , any buckleing will be readily apparent to the naked eye
