Anecdotal evidence, I would agree, but it worked for me.
Interesting. Maybe the tapered seat was a different fitment?

I recently noticed this clicking/ticking while turning on mine. Is this something thats just an annoyance or is anything actually being damaged or performance impacted?

Annoyance.
But you should have it taken care of so it doesn't mask a real problem in the future.

Had I not known about this issue, I would have thought it was the two piece front rotors as the cause, not the wheel to hub surface condition.

Mine only does it on the right side on hard left corners. Going to address both sides when I swap out the brake pads to less dusty set.

Another vote here for the anti-sneeze (lol) fix. I did my car after listening to both fronts click away at Lime Rock last week. Yesterday I ran a new road course and the car was silent. To recap heres what I did...

Lightly sand rim where it meets hub with 800 to 1000 grit paper.
Same for hub.
Coat both with thin film of anti sieze ( I mean real thin )
Reassemble.

Mine does it also. Like my 2017 C7 GrandSport did new. Solution was using some sandpaper to clean and brush all mating surfaces. Never came back.

Did the same thing on my 1LE today. Will see if this solves it like it did for the vette.

I had this clicking issue myself. Took the car to the dealer for the TSB and they cleaned the hub and the noise went away for about a month and came back. I then decided to tackle fixing it myself. I pulled the wheels off and noticed there was surface rust where I could see the dealer had originally cleaned the surface. I'm guessing once the surface rust formed the sound clicking returned. I figured if I cleaned it and covered it with something to prevent rust it could solve the issue, but the rumors had been that some grease dots from original manufacturing had caused the clicking in the first place. Non the less I had an idea I wanted to try out, so I cleaned the mating surfaces and put a small dab of anti seize on a paper towel and thinly spread it until all the shiny mating surfaces were covered. You will also want to spread a small amount on the actual hub lip that sits inside the opening on the wheel. Once you have done this reinstall the wheel and torque to the proper specs. Yes its that simple. It has been several months of daily driving, at least 4 days of AutoXing, and an hour long HARD RUN through the mountains. Still no clicking sounds have returned.

A few notes...

If you also put anti seize on your wheel studs be sure to decrease your lugnut torque accordingly instead of 140. I did and have run several AutoX's since with 120 torque and had zero issues. CHECK WHEEL LUG TORQUE AFTER A FEW DAYS, just in case it has backed off some. I personally check my wheel torque before and after every AutoX event.

You will likely have some anti seize that will get squeezed out and on your first drive it will splatter on the wheel barrel. After the first few drives and once the wheels are re torqued wash the wheel barrels to get it out. It won't hurt anything being there but it just looks messy.

BTW this photo is of some other 5 lug wheel but you get the point. It will be very obvious where you need to spread the anti-seize.

Try it out and post back with results.

Just did this and the clicking sound went away. The noise was driving me insane. I thought it was something with the suspension. Thank god I found this post. Will report back with my result in time. Thanks OP and everyone else.

I remember feeling the same way! I was relieved when I found a fix for it! Everyone was telling my just to re torque the lugs, but that wasn't fixing it for me.

Glad I found this post. I was going crazy about that sound, even taking pictures of the inside of my wheels to see if anything was broken. I am taking it for my first oil change soon and I will have the dealer fix it. While I am perfectly capable of doing it myself, I will have them do it until it runs out of warranty. It is not acceptable on a $50K car and GM needs to step up.

Be aware there is a TSB that only requires them to "clean" the hub surface and not to apply a light amount of grease to prevent the noise from returning. I had the dealer do the tsb and it came back a month later. It is key to get something on the hub to keep it from corroding again.

I'm not sue what my dealer did, but it has been all good so far after 3 weeks. Hopefully it stays gone.

I use CRC brake lubricant.cWhile I have lubed the mating surfaces of my other vehicles (that see all weather duty) I do not on my Camaro. Lug studs are not to be lubricated.
FWIW - When I was tracking/autoxing my BMW Mroady, I always did this on the raised register. I used Liqui-Moly LM 508 Anti-seize compound. It's copper based and was my go to anti-seize for most things. I only applied when more was needed, as I removed my wheels after every event to flush my brake fluid, and check my pads.
However, I did this just so the removal of the wheel will be easier...never had a clicking/ticking sound. Then again it was a different vehicle too.
