So, I’ve the the sport with the sport rims. Today I noticed a bunch of little scratches all over them. How the heck !? I’ve never had scratches on rims like this before on any previous cars. Why are these wheels so easily marked up. I’m not happy. Even though it’s not something you really can notice just looking at the car, until you are close up

It could be the way you are tasing them. Consider looking at chemicalguys.com and check out their cleaning brushes for the wheels. I purchase all my cleaning supplies from them.

Wow you need to be super careful with these 19" rims with the low profile tires (which I think are too narrow). My wife just bumped over a curb on a corner with the right rear and the amount of rim rash on it is pretty nasty. One chip was actually left hanging, it seems pieces shear away, never seen anything like this. Will have to get it repaired when I have the snows on this coming week.

I got some from ebay but I never put them on as I didn't think the adhesive was strong enough. Great idea but not sure how well they work, specially with the Sport Rims that seem to chip off pieces.
