Clunking sound from right front wheel area.
So i recently just put my rims onto my car after finally getting new tires. now i get this lovely rhythmic metal to metal clunking sound as im driving. I can feel it in the gas pedal and steering wheel. Any ideas as to what it could be?

ill bet that the wheels are low offset and whoever balanced them used the clip on weights on the inside lip and the weight is hitting the spindle on every revolution...
ive seen it many of times

or the mechanic didnt tighten the lug nuts. I know it sounds stupid, but you would be surprised....does it go away under acceleration? and get bad when decelerating?

not the lug nuts, already checked them. that was my first thought. it pretty much is just a constant clunking. doesnt matter if i accelerate or decelerate
