Yeah you are right the paint on the wheels is VERY THIN and is subject to coming off with anything even mildly abrassive. I would only use soap and water to clean these wheels and even the safe wheel cleaners may cut thru the finish.

How would this get repaired?

I got the same blue dot on all of mine - anyone know what that is?

I think its the heaviest (or lightest) spot of the rim and should be matched up with the red dot on the sidewall of the tire which would be the opposite of the rim's weight. This helps making balancing the rim/tire combo easier with less weights.
