those small metal retainers are stock... thats how the car came. You CAN remove them, however, leaving them isnt gonna hurt anything

Another reason for removing those things is to prevent them from gouging up the wheels (and leaving a bunch of stress concentration pits).

What I'm getting at is that the back side of the aftermarket wheels may not allow for their thickness, and they are not letting the wheel sit flat against the rotor hat. That appears to be the problem we're trying to fix.
