Weird things with new rims

I have a clanking noise which to me sound like a small metal tag hitting another metal part which seems to be coming from somewhere near the front driverside wheel. Took it to the dealership and they said it was the hubcaps. I just got rims and it still does it. Also seems to happen more often when it is windy out. I think it might be the wiring harness for the ABS but havnt tested that idea so if anyone has any ideas please let me know. Also with the new rims I get a heavy vibration in the steering wheel right around 55mph and then braking when i reach the 30mph range the pedal starts to vibrate as well as the steering wheel slightly. I think this may be caused by not having hubrings installed yet or poor balancing from the the tire place. Last but not least, this i dont know if it did before the new wheels or not but i just noticed one of the rear drum brakes is squeeking when braking and seems to its only catching in one specific area. Again, any ideas i will look into. Thanks
