Recently put on new wheels...

I recently put on some new wheels and experiencing a squeak noise when i lightly press on the brakes (both D and Reverse). Is this normal since it is new? only happens when the brakes are lightly pressed and goes away when i brake normal. Thanks.

Which wheels did you get? I had the same problem with one of my previous sets of wheels. With that set, it squeaked pretty darn often. Once I changed to a different set, with a different style of wheel, no more squeak.

This may be alot of work, but try putting a stock wheel on the corner that squeaks and see if it still does it after that. Like I said in the earlier post, my brakes squeaked with one set of wheels and once I changed it, it stopped squeaking.
