Default 2017 WRX Limited - clunk from Base wheels

My car is a 2017 WRX Limited. The original wheels (Premium / Limited) have summer tires (first pic), have no issues, as expected.
For winter tires I have a set of 2015+ Base wheels (second pic).

When I mount the Base wheels there is a considerable clunk, from at least both front but it seems all four, when I hit bumps / potholes on the road.

I use the original lug nuts on both wheel sets, torqued to 85 foot pounds.

The only things I can think of are the original lug nuts are not compatible with the Base wheels or the rotors are different in some way, between Base and Limited.
Both of these theories seem unlikely.

Help me out knowledge base.


Thanks to Joe Spitz, for the pics!
