I’m setting up my bike and notice when I turn my wheel it’s strumming these wires. What can I do or what am I doing wrong here. (Wheels are not inflated yet and I have not taken it out for any test ride)

fork is the wrong way around
The fork is facing the wrong way round, the brake on the fork should be facing forwards
The fork is probably bent after a crash. It should be straight but probably isn’t. If it’s bent, it needs to be replaced.
Fork is on backwards? Brakes should be in front of the fork/head tube/handlebars not behind.
Your fork is on backwards.
Loosen the two bolts on the stem at the stop of the fork, spin the fork 180 degrees, ensure the front brake cable is straight and not twisted under the frame.
Re tighten the two pinch bolts on the stem evenly, ideally with a torque wrench to the listed spec.
Thank you good sirs! I pray your pillows are cool at night
Forks are on backwards. Your brakes should be in front of the forks.
We need to see a photo of the entire front end here to know what’s going on.
You don’t inflate wheels. You inflate the tires (usually with a tube inside).
Please don’t take offense to this, but if you’re asking this question you need to take the bike to a shop when you’re done assembling for a check-over to make sure it’s safe to ride.
But you got a point for saying we don’t inflate wheels
