    Any of you having this issue? I've had the car for just about a year and a half, seems odd that this would happen already.

    lol yeah really hard to see - looks like the finish is coming off?

    I'd ask the dealer, doesn't seem like w&t to me after 18 months. Looks like it wasn't painted or sealed properly?

    Something is not right. Go to dealer. But they will probably say you used harsh chemicals to clean. Just say you only use a sponge with car wash soap.

    Did you buy this car second hand? the wheels may have been refinished by a bad shop. Yea what's up with the bolt covers?

    I have a few small pits and nicks like that with only 9000 miles and I know mine were not refinished as I picked up the car the morning after it arrived at the dealership. If you got the tire/wheel protection pkg, that should cover it, but otherwise will most likely be blamed on road debris. Could be from bad quality refinishing or a rock hit it.
