whats this on my wheel, pic



I have this black "chip" on my wheel, and it looks like the area around it is a different color, looks a little like corrosion. It is wierd because all 4 of my wheels have this in the same areas, on the lip of the wheel. The pic is of the worst one.

Anyone know what's happening to my wheel?? It's a factory 20" on a 2006 FX4. I tried buffing it out, no good.

Thanks

Looks like a dog-p*ss stain that has eaten through the clear coat..

The discoloration looks like clearcoat going bad.

hmm, you think this is covered under the bumper-bumper warranty?? I suppose I'll go Friday to the dealer and ask. If it's not covered, anything I can do to make it better or prevent it from getting worse?? I figure I'll wait until it gets real bad before I get the wheel refinished and clear coated again, the marks at this point are minor.

Almost looks like there were wheel weights in that spot.

I would say an old wheel weight was there and someone did not remove it carefully.
