I installed steel rims yesterday and everything was fine before I did. When I took it out the rear right wheel started knocking. I first though maybe I did something wrong while installing the rim. But I took it off and put it back on, everything seemed okay. Though the lugs were hot and the brakes were very hot, could barely touch the disk at first.

Any ideas?

If you're still speaking of the GT-4, then, to my knowledge, there is not a steel wheel that fits in existence, therefore you must be rubbing on the caliper.

Look at the offending corner and study the potential contact surfaces on the caliper and inside of the wheel barrel.
