thats weird, do you have anything hanging down in that area
Put that one back on and set it on the ground to see what might be scratching that spot, I can't think of anything that would be there.

That looks horrible. Looks like a tie rod or something is making contact or your bearings are way Fucked, sounds like there going out in the second vid anyway. Yep, you need to put a different wheel thats not damaged on what ever side it was fucking up on, put weight on it and see what it's hitting. Whatever it was it needs to be fixed asap. What does the inside of the tire look like thats on that side?
Here's a link to pics of when I changed my bearings

One more video..
The tires look fine but its just the inside of that one wheel thats scratched. I'm not sure if that was like that already but it's only with my heavier/aftermarket wheels back on.

Yeah the rotor move's like that until you put the wheel back on and tighten it. You check bearing play with the tire mounted. Just by the sound of it I would replace anyway, the new ones will outlast your car. I'm more worried about what was rubbing the inside of the rim. You need to put a wheel on the side that was rubbing, let the jack down, turn wheel lock to lock, feel on the inside of the entire wheel for something hitting. Hate to see a guy go a summer without custom wheels
To check for bearing play put your hands at 9 and 3, feel for any movement. Your not supposed to have any movement at all, or turn the tire as fast as you can then grap the strut, if you feel any vibration in the strut its a bearing

I'll try it tomorrow. Goin out with the girlfriend tonight so no time tonight. I think i remember those scratches being there but I'll put 2 new wheels on the front and check them then drive down the road and back and check the inside of both rims to see for any scratches..I tried the wheel bearing "check" already last time and no movement, but something could have changed since then. Ill let you all know tomorrow. Thanks for your help!
