I picked up the car last week and driven it about half those days. I've put on like 300 miles on it I think but nothing too crazy.
So today I was taking a look at the car, everything looks great. But then I take a closer look at the 19 inch slipstream wheels.
All 4 slipstream wheels have rock chips! The worst one is the front passenger wheel - there's like 4 rock chips and scrapes on that alone!
The damage is occurring about an inch out from the center cap. I guess rocks are getting picked up, ping ponging off other slipstream spokes causing the scratch/chip damage and then exiting.
I have not driven on any crazy roads...just the typical freeway and open suburb streets of So Cal.
I'll post some pics when I get the energy.
Anyone else have this issue or just me?
