Yes! That's exactly what I'm seeing, black specks. I guess this is normal then?

I was told by a wheel repair guy that repaired my 350 wheels, that the way they get the "hyper silver" is to paint a black coat first under the silver, then the top coat. It is a staged process. If we chip our wheels, this may be why it shows black underneath..... makes sense to me.

I have a few too, I'm pretty sure it's normal.

I prob have a total over about 8 of them between all four wheels, so it's not too bad. I'm guessing it wouldn't be a bad idea to put some wax on my wheels from here on out though?
