I also have a small chip out of the OEM grey wheels. Never hit anything. Warranty denied at dealership.

Such BS. I also just noticed my dash panel under steering wheel is janky and clips won’t hold it in place…..quality is starting to aggravate me

I have the original set of wheels that came with my car. They were boxed up and put in the hatch for my drive home. When I got home and looked at them, two of them had small scratches. The dealership was dumbfounded as the car had 6 miles at delivery and I had the copper/bronze rims added. Totally sucks. If anyone is interested in a set of 4 original rims, with TPMS, they are for sale. I have pictures upon request and can assist with shipping.

No problem! I haven't had to use it yet thankfully, only about 1,750 miles. After questioning my dealer how much of a hard time they would give me if it needed to be used they insisted no issues at all. If damages happen to the wheel or tire they replace or repair (depending on scenario) at no cost; for the life of the vehicle.

Thanks for this information

I need to read the tire protection I took on my car.

I just rashed the crap out of my LF wheel. In my sister's driveway, lined with damned Belgian block. I guess I'm not used to the extra track width compared to my old car. I feel so old and stupid. 519 miles. Mangled the outer lip about 3/4 the way around the rim.

Ditto just went over 300 miles...not even sure when it happened....oh well I got my winter wheels now...on the hunt for new wheels was going to go the bronze OEM route...But not any more

i get those in all my wheels. i haven't really driven my ITS yet but i kept nice Enkei wheels on my previous Si and they would definitely get rock chips over time as well

pretty annoying but yeah, everything in general across every type of market has gone down in quality

Wheel chips seem to be a big problem for me also. Chrysler graphite paint stick matches good. These wheels are going to be a problem. I'm looking into Vossen Wheels.

Did the same thing last night on 1 wheel... ended buying one on ebay, as I don't think I can live watching it that banged up every day.

Happened to me last night so annoying will this rust if not taken care of?

 

[StingertimeNC]

probably not rust, wheels are cast aluminum, right? Only issue I can think of is the pain't may want to continue to flake off around the spot so best to seal it up.
I have a LCM, and actually the tpouch up paint for the car is very close to the wheels. Maybe a tiny bit darker, but for touching up small spots it works fine and is really not eye catching. If nobody can find a match, just get some LCM paint.

$1200 as others have said. I live in the city and would by lying if I said I didn't rash the wheels on my old car. So I bought the package. Have one tiny chip at 3500mi and no rashes yet.
