ALL Mechanic/Brake Guru's, brakes making weird noise w/ aftermarket wheels. *VIDEO*
I need everyone to chime in on this and see what you think the issue might be..
So let me start off with a little information about my car'. I have a 2007 IS250 AWD with around 78,000 km on it. I had my 19" after-market wheels for almost 3.5 years now.
Almost 1.5 year ago, I noticed my brakes were making a extremely weird squeaking/creaking noise when I'm almost at a complete stop (as shown in video).. At first, I thought it's probably a sign to change the brake pads which I did about 6 months ago and it did not solve the issue... The sound only comes out with my 19" wheels but when I install my 17" OEM wheels for the winter time, the sound completely disappears..
Again, I never had any brake issues with my 19's before until recently.. I thought maybe I need to replace the rotors too but before I do that, I thought I might get some opinions from you guys first. BTW, I have not replaced my rotors yet since purchase of the car back in 2007..
Thanks!

I know this sounds weird but did you change out your brake shims (anti squeal). I no you said it doesn't make the noise when you have your 17's on but this might really be the problem
