Strange noise? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Maybe try putting back your stock wheels. If it makes the same sound, then it's the car.
If it doesn't make the same sound, then it's your new wheels.
You said it's only around 30 mph when you hear the noise right?

It could be just the sound when spinning at that speed. Bad example but like when you start spinning a wheel slowly and as you increase its speed, the wind resistance at the point generates a sound at that frequency, but spin it faster or slower and you don't hear it any more because you can hear the sound only at that frequency.

Sorry, I really don't know otherwise.
