Unhappy Any other type of front calipers for a 2010 SS?

I just put a new set of Giovanna 5V chrome wheels on my car today and when I was driving home I noted that the front right valve stem was hitting the little wheel sticking out of my Brembro calipers. Is there anything I can do? Are those little wheels on the calipers necessary? Please help, the wheel place won't return my wheels since they are on the car.

Yep, just cut those mothers off. Or buy some hawk pads, that don't come with the skates.

Wow, really? I am not a car technician so therefore I don't know much about cars so if that makes me stupid, oh well!

Yes, just the pads need to be replaced. And find a better wheel vendor that knows what fits
