Do you have an AWD model? Do you hear the clinking more enough when turning? If so, it's your CV joints in the half-shafts going out.

Describe the noise that the car made. Could it have been something as simple as the wheel weights coming loose, banging around in the wheel and flying out?

How severe is the vibration?

^When you are installing those rings, check the wheels out CLOSELY for cracks/bends/etc.
