Loud clunk!!! A lil help

Ok guys 2 days ago I had a brand new rota wheel installed in the rear driver side and ever since then it has been making this loud clunking noise that kinda sounds like metal hitting metal I've pin pointed it to the rear driver side but can't figure out what it is. I jacked the car up and all the lugs are tight. I can't figure it out but the weird thing is that it only makes the noise when I'm going slow or when I turn. I don't want to take it to the dealer cuz I have lowering springs and I don't want them to void the warranty. Any help is appreciated

Wheel specs and drop info are needed

No noise before installing the new wheels? Did you put wheel spacers in?

No noise. I actually had the rims on for about two months but I cracked the rear driver side when I got a flat tire so I was using the normal 18 inch ralliart tire as a spare. No spacers either

Update: I took it to the tire shop that installed the rim. I guess they for got to tighten the tpms and it fell of inside the tire so that's what was making the noise

And it survived all of that? Nice. Glad your clunk is taken care of!
