My other wheels are dirty at the moment (keeps raining too), so I can't really say 100% that it's a different colour.

I may sit down in the garage today and clean up the rims to compare.

It was hard to tell when I took delivery, because I didn't have anything to compare it to.

Played with a bimmer on the way home

Didn't realize we were playing till his tires started squealing like crazy as soon as the light turned green. I took him easily in first (thanks to his show) with zero tire squeal and had him a good way through 2nd. But he was obviously pulling on me and got a little over a car length in front before I made a 3rd to 6th shift and cruised back a little closer to the speed limit. He ended up turning left very shortly after I backed off. Oil temps increased noticeably in the short run, so I was reminded that I need an oil cooler - I have been driving it pretty easy lately both because of the hot weather and in an attempt to preserve tire tread as much as possible.

He was not in the lane next to me, so I figure that means it's just two guys who happen to be accelerating fast from a green light independently

WTF is wrong with people??? Whatever, I didn't plan in keeping that fender (rear driver's side) anyway.

And no, it's not rock damage. The scratches specifically begin just behind the door handle.

that's just dickish
