After only 3 days since I got my car delivered, I discovered rust between the rims and the disk brakes! :huh:
Does anyone know what's the best way to get rid of that?
Thanks

Mine has the same thing on all 4 wheels including the calipers. I have 11,200 miles on mine.

It looks like some flat touch up paint that you could brush on would take care of that.

Is this covered under the warranty?

Same here. ..I thought my wheels were the only one with that problem.

Hi Skorpyo,

I noticed that when I got my car about 4 months ago. However, I was able to get rid of it by using the wheel cleaning spray. I just had to get inside the wheel and rub it off. I have not seen rust since, however, I have to say that I'm pretty picky and clean the car and wheels, once, twice and sometimes three times a week.

I have that too, and i even removed the wheels and used klasse aio on the wheels and that area.

I would take it back to the dealer and have them clean it. It build up from shipping the car over on the boat.

I would, except it wasn't there for the first 2 months of ownership and it has also been 4 months since I took delivery.

That doesn't look normal - I would take it to the dealer and ask them about it - your caliper/hub paint should protect against this kind of rust for more than 11,000 miles.

I agree. This is what I consider normal.

thanks for all the replies.
Tomorrow I will show the rust to my dealer and will see.
Hope he can do something...
