ok,
i have had my mags on for a couple of months now but until a few weeks ago when i had noticed, there is a ticking noise coming from the rear wheels, im unsure if its both or one but i think its both, the ticking is fairly quick and constant and only happens when i go faster than about 50km/h and this is on a flat road so it isnt scrubbing or anything. i have inspected the wheels and tyres a couple of times now and there seems to be nothing in the tyres and around the wheel that could be causing the noise....does anyone have any ideas?

no stones in your tyres? no stones caught behind your hub anywhere?

does it tick when u jack up the car and spin the wheel by hand?

120% check this first.
Jack up the wheel , then run your hand around it and check for any slight bumps or warps in the tyres etc too :)

can also be your wheel weights not sticking or a loose lug nut

yup especially if youve fitted bigger/heavier wheels and tyres plus there is a few kays on the car it can speed up the wear on the wheel bearings
