spins freely, but in a certain spot when spun in either direction there is a squeak. no other noticeable noise like that of bad wheel bearings.

This is on my 97 S1, just over 20k miles, and PM wheels ... I just rode 100 miles today and a few yesterday, in the melting snow, wet roads ,etc etc etc.... but only noticed it at the end of the day today.

Any ideas ?

Grease seal on wheel bearings or bearings themselves getting dry. Re-pack or replace now.

moisture got in bearing and then got dry and made noise. Replace your bearings. And hone brake rotor.
