pip7441622,
I have the same problem with my rims, except only one of them is Darker. I have a 3.5 Yellow speed, bought it in the dark and didn't notice it until about the second or third washing, b/c it was in the front. Took my car back to get the Re-flash and mentioned it, they said that a chemical cleaner was used on it. I have never used a chemical cleaner on it before. Took my car back again to get the Clunk fixed, made note on the wheel again. Same thing chemical cleaner was used on it. Well the third time taking it back I told them if I used a chemical cleaner on it then all four rims would be discolored right, Busted! Plus the rim was discolored all the way thru. After a hassle with the dealer they ordered me a new rim and told me they would have to wait for a Mazdaspeed represinative come check it out. This was the catch though, the dealer couldnt be responsible for the color of the new rim that they got in. How about that crap. I will say my rim is as dark as yours. Someone screwed on this and I hope that I can get 4 matching rims. I will await the response that you get from the dealer.
Best of luck,
Joe Ski
