Default Have you of you guys noticed these blemishes on your "NEW" TTMs?

Have any* of you guys noticed these blemishes on your "NEW" TTMs?

I washed the car for the first time since having the wheels on, and noticed on 2 wheels(1 front and 1 back). That there is a "ring" that goes all the way around the edge of the wheel that is a line of little scratches. Not sure if that makes sense. But heres a couple pics with my issue... I'm going to PM tomz with this link as well.
Thanks for any help
Patrick.

I didn't have any marks like yours but I had some white dots on the black of mine. Also, one of my wheels chipped on the lip by the center cap within the first week after installing them.

the might not do anything since they are already mounted, always check your **** you buy before installation, preferably still in the packaging..

I have not ever seen anything like that before. There is nothing during the mounting process that would have caused it. The wheels have a clear coat on them which is similar to your car paint. You might try a little auto polish on a small spot to see if it comes off. Just do a small spot to test first. If that does not work we will need to set up a time that eihther Kevin or I can be here to see them and see what we can do. If it is a manufacturers defect we will change them out. Sorry there was a problem and let me know what the polish does.

Thanks
Tom

Well, they took them out of the package/mounted tires on the wheels. I didnt touch them until I put them in the truck.

I tried some "bulk" polish that we have at my work( I detail cars). No dice. But we're supposed to be getting some higher quality polish in, in the next couple days.
