We've been falling in love with the wrong color!

Please tell me they're still gunmetal!

I better check the rims when my 2013 arrives, thanks for the heads up! :tup:

Yes, they're GUNMETAL!! it was just leftover protective film. They didn't remove the protective cover carefully and left some excess pieces on some of the wheels. Don't worry, wheels are still sexy hahah

Thanks for the info guys. I have a 2012 370Z, and two of the wheels have some flaking, and two look perfect. Is it the protective coating that is flaking off, or are the rims defective?
Should I have the dealership replace them all?

Flaking? like white residue? Depends on how often you are near the beach/ocean since I see you're in CA. corrosion could be your problem. Pics would hell much more. Here in Hawaii, EVERYTHING is corroded unless you wash your car constantly.

Pics would be necessary.

Wow, this was all suspenseful and its just the protective coating!!

This is why i had the dealer NOT touch my car and i took everything off the day of delivery myself...
