I have an '07 base model with stock rims, after 25K miles the finish on the rims is becoming thin? Black undercoating? is showing through. I haven't done anything out of the ordinary with the rims, I wash them about every week and polish them with ordinary wax about once a month. It seems the finish on these rims should last longer than this? Has anyone else had this problem? I suppose I will have to contact the stealership to see if the warranty covers this. sounds like an argument brewing??

As David says, you need to post pictures (showing the problem) if you want any help.

I had the same problem... they seem to lose their finish pretty quickly... but I replaced my rims w/ CE28Ns

my guess , GUESS , stock wheels soap and water only

the wax might have a negative effect on the clearcoat

I wash mine with the regular car wash soap every time I was the car. I also put a coat of wax on the wheels twice a year. @20k miles and the finish is still good as new.

Also wanted to note that I've never used any type of wheel/brake dust cleaner.

I only used car soap. I think they just scratch easily. It might be a good time to save for some new wheels
