Wheels "ticking" during turns-fixed
I'm not sure if anyone has experienced this but I had an annoying ticking noise when I turned the wheel on my Z07.
The dealer cleaned the back of the wheels and re-torqued them. This fixed the problem.
Apparently a lot of people are experiencing this.
Just thought I would share

I took and replaced my wheels with powder coated ZR1 cups and no issue.
13,200 miles.

Zero "ticking" after the dealer cleaned my hubs. Only other maintenance I've done to help this issue is re-torque the lug nuts after race events or some heavy spirited driving.
YMMV

Interesting...I did notice this ticking with the stock wheels on my Z07. Never thought much about it, but it has not happened since I switched to my forgelines.

They had this problem on the Gen 2 CTSv's. Several tech bulletins were issued.
1) the first one (2010-2011?) was to remove wheels, clean mating surfaces, and retorque the wheels (maybe to 160 foot pounds?). Seemed a temporary fix for me.
2) Next bulletin was to replace the front wheels with "modified" wheels that had slits machined into the mating surfaces. Also a temporary fix for me, but clicking was milder when it returned.
3) the last and final bulletin that I knew of was to replace the lug nuts with a new part number. This worked for me (didn't really care at that point; it was not a big deal), but I sold the car within 5K miles or so of having it done.
Haven't noticed it yet in the Z06 but I won't let it drive me nuts when I do notice it......

This is why they should be Hub Centric wheels, not lug centric... I have aftermarket wheels that are hub centric and I do not have this issue. So here is a thought, we need to measure the hub on the factory wheel then the actual hub, should be able to purchase hub rings often used on aftermarket wheels and I bet this will resolve the issue... Should be a cheap fix as well. Bet your car will drive smoother on the road as well, mine did after swapping to aftermarket wheels!

Can anyone pull up that service bulletin number or info?
I have the issue as well. Z07 with 15k+ miles. I usually only hear it in the parking garage.
Thanks!
