hey does it look something like this, or different?







mine became like this a couple of months after i bought it. i live in chicago, dont know what it may be caused by.

Mine look like yours and the majority of the damage is caused by road debris (such as rocks, salt, other types of sh*t).

Hey Marin8703, the damage to my rims looks just like that. If it was limited to the 4 mounted wheels, I'd buy the argument that road debris was the culprit but how do these form on the spare? The spare has been up on the rear door since it was built in Shreveport.

Oh well, its not like it affects how it rides on the backroad...

yeah i had the same stuff on the spare, so dont know whats up, and i noticed it the first time i washed it. Might have been like that when I bought it or happened over a month of driving, dont know. the weird thing is that those are not chips or scratches, just discolorations, if you run your finger over it feels smooth.

But either way my dealer said they will replace them if i wanted to, but decided not to replace them until a little before teh warranty runs out, since it doesnt really effect teh vehicle performance. That way I will get brand new rims at around 40000 miles and most likely get 35s to go with em.
