Wheel Pitting
 
Has anyone noticed any pitting in their wheels yet? My driver side rear wheel is really starting to get messed up. A couple deep pits and whole bunch of other scratches. That is the only wheel I've noticed it on too. I imagine it happened during winter time, I guess that serves me right for not putting on some steel wheels for winter in sask....

Yes, my wheel wells are beat up so bad that I think they may start to rust, and my car is only 7 months old. I've talk to the dealer and told them to fix it but first they said that some guy from mazda has to see it first.

Do you have alot of chipps and scratchs or just wheel wells.

Just the one wheel seems to have gotten it bad!!!!

quite a few on the spokes and some even right in the lug nut holes???

My winter alloys are trashed after one winter. The finish is starting to peal off and the cheap ass lugnuts are rusted to hell. Glad it was them and not the factory wheels. 2 more winters and they will looks like ass, then I think I'll have them sandblasted and paint them white.

I scratched my rear drivers side rim this morning. I am peed right off. 400KM and I bugger up the rim. Going through the North Tim Horton's drive thru and wham. :(

Regina Wheel Works (or something close to that) is good at refurbishing wheels, maybe they can fix up the pits and the scratches.
