Default Focus creeking noise front nearside?

My mate just had new alloys fitted to his car 3 weeks ago, and everything was fine. they are the right offset and size for the car aswell.

Basically at about 30mph the wheel creeks, sounds like a springy creeking noise, but very light sounding.

Any ideas what it could be? I've had a quick look, and nothing major seems to be wrong,

Cheers

Anti roll bar drop links are prone to failing and squeaking on Focus

Hmmmm

I'll check the drop links later for him.

what'sa pedal box? It doesn't sound like and internal sound, its external, like a rubbing noise, but a creak. Goes in time with the speed, the faster he goes the quicker the sound

But i've check everything and nothing is rubbing

Too obvious, but have you checked the wheel nuts for tightness?

Have the alloys got the correct sized hubcentric ring?
