I thought I was the only one with these blue dots on my rims, when I noticed a seller selling his 06 OEMs with the same thing! What the hell are they for?
At the top of the rim:

Edge of the left spoke:

I also have one blue dot on the corner of my taillight. :\
Note: Pics aren't mine, but from a seller.

I bought my 07' like that and thought it was just me. after noticing it a few days later, i decided to let it go since i already brought it home.
after a few picture reviews of fs threads on 06/07 wheels, i then noticed it wasn't just me.
