Default Weird Flapping Noise from wheel...

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has heard this weird noise. I Changed to 20" rims, Coilovers, replaced my lower ball joints, changed my front brakes and rotors, and Rear Brakes and rotors.

Ever since i changed to coilovers I've been hearing a "strange"..like...flapping noise...like...

Remeber when you were a little kid..and you put Baseball cards in your rear spoke...and makes a flapping noise..? Kinda sounds like that..when I'm rolling..

I thought it was the Rotors and brakes, so i changed them out, but still made that noise...

So, I jacked up the car and Spinned the front wheel, but I didn't hear the noise at all...weird...its only when I'm rolling or it seems when there's load on the front wheel? ...

Has anyone heard of this weird noise?

i recently threw on some 20's and i've been hearing somewhat of a similar sound, like something is on the tire since it sounds like it's tied to the rotation. I've checked and have no idea what the issue could be, i know i'm not rubbing because i'm not slammed yet. i'm on the same boat as you and hope someone has an answer

Might be the rear rotors rubbing on the brake shield.

Ahhhh I got the same friggin damn noise too, its coming from my rear passenger side, its annoying like a deck of cards just brushing against the tires.... I took my wheels off and checked also and found nothing unusual!
