I thank you all for your individual inputs. Like I said I am always with the detailing guy when he washed my car and I know and see the process. Now been open to your opinions what I can think is that maybe even that he cleaned it fast maybe the mixture of the product was too strong. I also called a Power Coating Expert and as soon as I explained the situation he mentioned to me something that can also be possible.

He asked me if I ever washed the car in one of those touchless or automatic machines. He told me that some of those places are using such a strong acid that damage the rims, and since the machine is on timing, either sometimes they dont clean right, or as soon you enter the car to those machines they apply the acid first with the rim hot instead of applying water first and cool down the rim. From the whole year that I owned the car I will say I got the car 2 times trough those touchless places, as a fast clean getaway.

1. So I will agree with everyone, if possible that the mixture from my detailing people was wrong (which I doubt since they always wash all my cars trough the years, they are only 2 guys, so is not that a bunch of people working on my car)
2. I am more incline to the touchless machine and their wheel cleaner and that Nissan used a very thin coating, since I've never seen this problem on any of my other cars.

NOTE: Let me tell you guys that the thin layer could be a major factor, because I went to 2 dealers and I found 370z, with different type of wheels, with exactly the same problem. Maybe not as bad as mine cause those cars are parked, but definitively with the same coating discoloration on the edges and hard areas of the wheel. Even one of the managers from the dealer finally agreed with me cause I showed him the cars park at their lot and they help me with Nissan. Thats why they decided to powder coat the wheels what they called "good will"

Up to this point I haven't receive any calls from Nissan.\

THANK YOU ALL. I WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED.
