Free of charge? Also how long have you owned your F? Do you maintain it weekly at all?

Chances are it wasn't necessary to replace the wheels. I also have had the "pitting" in the wheels which was fixed by using a clay bar on the wheels...just turns out it was hardened brake dust that couldn't be removed by conventional washing...Darshana S...
