Default Front Wheels make a rattling sound

As the title says, whenever i hit a bump going faster than say... 15 mph? I can hear a rattling sound coming from the tire, it sounds like its directly next to it, any ideas? Thanks in advance guys.
PS i got the car used and not entirely sure what all has been maintained/replaced previously.

before you do anything drastic, check simple stuff, Make sure all lugnuts are tightened all the way, rims aren't bent. etc
