Wheel damage (chipping)

[Mickycrane]

Is anybody else having problems with chipping of rim? I have one of the 4 rims chipped excessively.

Not a single problem.
I'm assuming you're the original owner.

Only one wheel? It sounds awkward

What wheel cleaning products are you using? How do you park?

The dealership replaced that wheel.

So it's newer than the rest

Well it's not "new", it might be repaired and repainted
That explains why the other OEM three wheels aren't chipped

That is what a "curbed" wheel might look like and explain why only one would be damaged. The rubber tire shown offers minimal protection. Repaired wheels are out there.

I have two of those marks...one on the front left and one on the back left. I'm assuming I took a rock hit...hit a curb...or one of my kids driving it hit something. Year and a half with mine and like I say...only two marks like your picture.

What's your point.? We all drive on roads full of crap.

2021 BS and now over a year in my 2024 Mav.
I’m on gravel roads daily.
Not a single mark on my aluminum wheels.
But I don’t ‘drift’ on them.

I was trying to figure out if the wheel had been replaced
Then the OP said: "The dealership replaced that wheel"
So my guess, the wheel was repainted with a cheap paint job

Yeah…but I’ve got some of the same chips he does and my wheel was never replaced. I started thinking about my last post..and come to think of think about it…the two chips are too close to the center of the rim to be a curb hit.
