Default Grinding noise from front wheels on an accelerating turn.

I just noticed that I am getting grinding noise from my front end. I haven't really been driving hard on turns so I haven't noticed anything noise.
I did recently change my wheels from the original 19" Caravelas to the 19" Aquila (Propeller) rims. I wouldn't think there would be any issue coming from that, though I was wondering if the brake rotors had enough clearance, which it seems to have over a cm worth of clearance or more and felt the inside of the spokes to see if there was any wear, which it didn't seem to be any.

This usually happens when I am going around windy curves when accelerating.

Any thoughts? I did some research and saw that some of posts have been about bearings going bad.

It's has about 50K miles on it.

Sounds like a failing wheel bearing to me, especially if it's more noticeable during acceleration, as the forces on the wheel are harder. Does it only do it turning in one direction?

It does it on both directions.
