Car is a P5 , about 10K miles (almost a
year old now).

When washing the car I noticed a tarnished spot on the front wheel. Looking at it further it seems the paint
finish has a small chip in it..the paint
around the chip looks like its starting to
bubble.

I can't believe this...if I take it to the dealer there going to say something hit
it. That may be..but I can't believe the
wheel corrodes that easy..its not even a
year old.

Anyone have this problem or know of any chance of getting this fixed/replaced
under warranty??

Same thing on my car but I figured it was road debris that caused it.

I have noticed that people are afraid to to take their cars to the dealer for warrenty work ,I also noticed that dealerships are not very helpful in this department either .
First of Mazda warrenty is Bumper to bumper for the first 3 years . This that anything that is not up to standard is replaced . The rims are not painted ,but rather powdrecoated ,if the coating is breaking down then Mazda should replace them, You may have to fight with the dealer ,use your warrenty book ,call Mazda and complain about the service . This best thing to remember is to be nice and polite when you talk to them .
