Weird scratches on factory wheel, anyone else?

Hello,

does anyone have the same weird scratches on 20'' factory polished wheels? They are close to the stem valve but also on the edges of some spokes.

Thank you
Marco

Its called 'Filiform' corrosion. If your car is under warranty, take it in.

Sorry for the late reply Fish Man:

I have the same problems...I think it is a mix of baked-on dust and fifliform corrosion.
Let me know your thoughts please.

Marco
