Default Intermitten Clanging Noise in First Gear and Turning

I started to notice this just yesterday and today I have been able to replicate the noise every once in a while.

The noise sounds like if you take a set of loose keys and dragged it on uneven ground. It's a light clang and I can't tell if it is front or rear.

It seems to occur when I'm in first gear most often and when I'm turning left. Typically in a slow crawl. Once I get into second it seems to go away, although I think I vaguely heard it once.

Within the last 500 miles I added coilovers, new wheels and have done an alignment. I just pulled all four wheels off this evening and added the right size hub centric rings. Did a visual check to see if everything was ok and didn't find anything. Brake pads look good, and I have heard the low pad screech before. This doesn't sound like that.

Any ideas or help? Car seems to drive fine, but it's an unsettling noise.
