Clicking noise from back 2 rims

I just put on new 18x8.5 rims from Brabus with tire size 225-40 onto my sister's slk. There is now a clicking sound coming from the back of the car where the rims are. It seems like somethings hitting everytime the tire makes a revolution. It happens going 10mph and slower. Did I overlook anything while putting on the rims? Any help would be appreciated.

Additional information:
These rims came off my clk if that makes any difference.

So how do the new rims look? Any chance you can post a pic for us to see?
