Nice!!! I get the look thing.
Something I d suggest is that you at least run your car thru those wheel alignment readers when you enter the service area. I had one wheel off right from new. It s common. They even did an alignment under warranty after that. Just pull in like your there for work or something. I tell them the car wanders a little and they always check the alignment. Plus that will give you a baseline for the inner tire wear issue. I did that hoping the tires wear better, if not then I go to the aftermarket lower control arm bushing. I didn t want to just change that bushing without knowing the car is set up right from the beginning if that makes sense .

I was too at first. Now I ll wait it out and see knowing the alignment is right. I ve seen people here say they are not having that inner wear issue. Don t know what's factual?
I also have already looked at an almost new RCF500. It sold before I got to it. If I find one CPO that maybe my car and $20K would buy I might jump, LOL.

A big part of it is your driving style. Heavy braking from higher speeds creates the most flex on the bushings, and as a result the most tire wear. If you drive at lower speeds (city driving), slowly brake, or coast to stops, or rely on engine braking by paddle shifting down, you’ll not see much if any inner tire wear.
