Default My Jag is finally back, but now theres this

Wow been awhile, had my tires blown out on me a month ago. Got new Bridgestone Potenza's and Rial Como (Aruba like) rims now. Will post pictures, once the weather gets better (its raining here in NYC).
So I was all happy that I got new wheels, got my 20,000 mile service done, but a week after that, I started hearing a high pitched squeak coming from the front left side. It only comes at 60 mph or above. Its on and off, not a constant squeak. I asked the dealer and of course they cant help because it would be illegal for them to drive above 50 mph, and they didnt hear anything. But its driving me nuts, any ideas what it could be?
They took a look and said everything was fine. I'm due to get new brake pads in about 5,000 miles. The mechanic said the noise might be due to the extra space (since the pads are mostly worn) and the air rushing through that gap. Any truth in this?
Anyways, nice to be back (work sucks) and any help/info would be appreciated.

Those are some nice rims! I hate blowing out tires! Wish I could help on the noise but mostly rear end noises are all I've read about. At least other than suspension problems.
