Those of you with 030, wheel question...
Just bought an 06 with 030, and I'm surprised at the finish on my wheels. Ther is little or no paint between the spokes, and what is there is beginning to come off. I'm thinking I'm going to give them a try on a warranty claim, but I'm expecting to hear that it's "normal wear" (?!). What do yours look like? Looks like one of mine has already been replaced under warranty. They also have a lousy finish around the lug holes. Anyone have a picture? I don't mind refinishing them, I'm sure my guy can do them better than new, but just wondering what the baseline looks like. Thanks for your help.

Mine look like they barely have any paint....
on them at al. I'll try to post a picture. It's awful. I'im sure my wheel guy can make it look better than the OE finish.

Also, how's the finish holiding up on .....
your steering wheel? Mine is getting thin, showing a bit of wear at the 3 and 9position. $150k cars should have materials that wear better than that. Wonder if they'll fix that....
