Unhappy Work Wheels Euroline LS clicking noise

Don't know how long this has been happening, because I usually have my radio on, but for the past few weeks I've been hearing clicking noises coming from my wheels when the car is going slow (5-15 mph). It sounds like it's coming from the center caps, because when I tightened the screws, the same sound was produced. However, even after tighting I still hear the clicking intermittenly.

Any ideas on what is causing the clicking?

When I got my wheels installed, the small nut on the inside of the airvalve came off after the tire was mounted. At 5-15mph, i would hear a clank/clank noise, it sounded something in the driveline was loose!

Actually, it was the little nut hitting the inside of the rim, and the metal/metal contact was making the noise. I only heard it at those speeds, because at higher speeds, the gforce would pin the nut to the tire, then when I slowed down, it would come back down and start sliding all over the rim.

We found it by putting the car on a lift and spinning the tire, we could hear something rolling around inside the tire!
