Could someone pls chime in and help validate this?
Bc if it does really mess with the lip/finish then first of all, I won't use it anymore and second, armor all needs to be chin checked on this.

i love my wheels and keep them clean at all times, but there is some oxidation behind the clear coat ont he face that is starting to bother me. its around the centercap, and keeps on getting bigger. its almost getting to the holes for the lug nuts.. this seems to be a common problem for the d3s cause ive seen pics of it online before.
