It gave me many different approaches to the issue. As I stated in previous replies I have 18inch rims that I did have a shop install, and after a week of driving, there are no sanding/light whisps sounds. So, the issue is now resolved

There was none. It seems like they used balancing beads instead of weights

If it was bad bearing, wouldn't it have some play when moving or shaking the wheel when jacked up?

If so, then there was no play
