are the spacers a perfect fit onto the hub?
i'm presuming with speedlines you dont need spigot rings for them as they are specifically designed for vaux

Sounds like they are not sitting flush with the hub, my brother did this on one of his recently.
Take them all off and re-fit them yourself.

As Corsadave said, take the off, then pop them back on ureself, see if that helps, if not, take em back to r-tec.
