Faint wheel ticking/clicking at low speeds

Hello again,
Just put on the summer wheels.
Ferrada FR2 295/30 r20's and 255/35 r20's. Balanced and mounted about a month ago.
At low speeds, with the music down and windows down. There is a very slight "click" or "tick" noise when going forward or reverse.
It is not always present. But it is more often than not.
I can hear it when I am pulling out of my driveway and the sound bounces off the house. I can also hear it while driving down the road, only its more faint.
I just got it back from the Maserati dealership (to get the wheels balanced, they have a nice custom wheel machine) and they took apart the front passenger brake assembly and said they found nothing. Then charged me 70 bucks for doing it....
It sounded like there might have been a loose piece of plastic bouncing around in the wheel. but they took the wheel off the rim and said they found nothing.

Any help with this?

might be a stone or nail on the tire. Dealership don't usually remove rocks from the tires.

It honestly sounds like a piece of plastic is bouncing around inside the rear tires. But when i just had them balanced the other day, the dealership said there wasnt anything inside the wheel/tire.
