Had new wheels put on and ticks when braking what is it?

Answer 1

The noise is the brake caliper body touching the stick-on wheel weights that were placed inside the wheel to balance it. The wheels probably leave very little room between them and the brake caliper. When you press the brake, the caliper body slides outward a bit (this is normal) and starts touching the wheel weights that were previously, just barely, not touching the caliper. Who ever put your wheels on didn't do anything wrong, except they didn't test drive it afterwards (a good tech always does a confirmation test drive after every repair). If they would have, they would have heard the noise and did this repair. They need to grind away at the caliper body just enough to make sure the caliper doesn't touch the wheel weights. The weights probably can't be moved without throwing the wheels out of balance. The other option is to put the original wheels back on the car because they are designed with the proper amount of clearance.
