One time while installing the extra set of wheels with the Nitto-01's for a next day track event (at night in a hurry...)

I heard a clicking noise similar to the one you described, and after removing the wheel that was making the noise, I discover that one of the spacers on the wheel bolts had fallen off from the bolt and the ticking noise was caused by the (now longer bolt) hitting the disc protective shield.

You may want to check that all your wheel bolts have the spacers on ... (the worse would be the extra time required to remove one wheel)

Good luck!
