might be due to incorrrect offset- this may cause the wheels to be touching the shock or another part in the wheel arch?
sounds very bizare! they been powdercoated or something?
I didn't think the backs of the wheels should ever be painted and lacquered as it could ruin the fine tolerance they have for fitting square on the hub.
Are you able to get them on the hub at all? or once on are they wobbling?
The mating surface between the alloy and hub needs to be unpainted and 'flat'......

Also I fitted my new turinis from speedline........cup ones have 38.5 offset, and my new ones are 35.....and they have a slightly wider track.....
So smaller number for offset = wider track (alloy sits farther out)
I would expect a similar story for the center bore to allow a fine fit onto the hub.
Anything to suggest for a poor turini-less 182 owner? :dapprove:
buy some trophy turinis for the instant problem free fitting lol
put the wheel on and tighten opposing corners bit by bit, the bolts will pull the wheel on straight
wet and dry on powdercoat? you'll be there for months!
just whop em on and an excess will "crack" off
