Exclamation Click from brakes... again!! GRRR.

Ok, I had made a post a long time back saying that there was a clicking noise coming from my brakes. I got really loud, and eventually, the car started shaking when stopping (wrapped rotors), and then had problems stopping. I had gotten a brake job, and everything was fine. I then got rims.

Last week on Thursday, I winterized my car... put the stock wheels back on. I ended up racing a 05 Tiberon (190hp stock), and toasted him pretty good on the expressway. 0-120mph. I ended up hitting the brakes kinda hard, but nothing too bad. So now, the brakes are starting to click again. It's the right front again also. Now, I shouldn't have to be changing brakes all the time like this. The front rotors have been machined twice within 1 1/2 years, and I think I need new ones anyways.

But I'm thinking, can my stock wheel be causing this problem? They didn't make a single noise with the rims on. But the stockers back on, and now the brakes are messed up again. Over tighten? I don't think so. Any thoughts? Thanks
