Yeah, it's definitely NOT a protective cover. My rear driver side wheel looks IMMACULATE. I have minor peels on the other wheels as well. If it were a protective cover, of course I would've just peeled it off..

I honestly think its a film to make the wheels "gunmetal".....

Take A bit more off on one wheel then a)post a pic b)go to the dealershit

Yeah, those 2013 wheels are suposed to be gun metal. I can't believe Nissan just put a thin "film" over the silver wheels though. Lame...

It seems like there's other small bubbles or something on the wheels. I would like to know how the dealership handles this...

In all honesty, I think this makes me happier, as I like the silver finish better.

The gunmetal had grown on me, but if I can peel it off... oh my! :excited::excited:

But yeah, I'd take it to the stealership and see what they have to say about it.

I'll have some time to go to the dealership this coming week. I'll let you guys know how it turns out. I'm hella disappointed in Nissan trying to make the wheels something that they're not by putting some flimsy film on it.

What I was told if that those wheel protectors and the curb guard film are not removed after delivery they can burn onto the rims from the heat.

So those are curb guard wheel protectors? Did the dealer remove yours? So I'm assuming your wheels have a silver finish now instead of gun metal?

No the film like on those wheels of the GTR previously posted is what I'm talking about. If the dealer left a little section of film on your rim it could have burned onto the rim. I'm not saying that is what your issue is but could be a possibility. From your picture the damage looks very odd, never seen anything like it before.

Can you check your 2013 when you can? Are your wheels a silver finish or gunmetal? If it's gunmetal, I would check around on each wheel for any minor peels. Like I posted before, my rear driver side wheel is in immaculate condition (with no peels at all). It is an awesome gunmetal color finish. The other 3 wheels have peels (like I posted in my pictures) which leads me to believe the wheels are actually silver but made to seem gunmetal with a "film".

Im with the others.. Just pick one and peel the s*#t off and see what happens. If it is not a protective cover you will still get new wheels for it being that easy to take off.

OP any news???

I ended up getting really annoyed with it and peeled it off like all the others on here wanted me to do LOL... false alarm! Turns out it really WAS just LEFTOVER protective film that protects the wheels. The freaking employees at the dealership should've done a better job with removing that stuff! Hella freaked me out! But thanks for the feedback, everyone! hahah :bowrofl:

................

So they're more of a silver color than gunmetal? The ones at the dealership I saw were a gunmetal, but probably have that film on there too. Hmm... def. will be peeling it off when I get it.

:icon08: Care to elaborate?
