The paint just started flaking off on one of the wheels. The others look like they are pitting from hot brake dust. It was a real coincidence (sp?) that the mazda rep came in while I was getting my bushings replaced. My main statement to them was that if I had purchased these wheels direct from Racing Hart, that usually they would come with some sort of warranty on the finish of the wheel. So why shouldnt these? Hope this helps. Remember when in doubt just b**** real loud at the svc counter!!
