Default Clicking noise on wheel

Hi I'm new to the forum and would like some advice if possible,I have a 2002 Xkr the car runs perfect and has just flown through its mot,but the last week or so I am getting a clicking noise on the drivers wheel or that seems to be where it's coming from It sounds like when we were kids and put a lolly pop stick in your bike wheel, my brother and he's mates who are handy around cars had a look and can't find where the problem is,the car drives fine but it's so annoying thanks in advance
Rob

Inner fender liner rubbing on the tire maybe?
if it just came out of inspection, you wouldn't think of the more sinister things.

If you have the lousy factory capped lug nuts, those caps can get loose and rattle as you drive. Very annoying. The fix is to switch to solid lug nuts....
