Factory Wheel Imperfection/Defect
I am probably being overly cautious but I just noticed an imperfection on the inside edge of my factory 1LE wheel.
Long story short, these wheels were only on the car from the factory to the dealer. As soon as it came off the truck it was pulled into the bay and my LT wheels/all seasons were put on. These have sat in my basement for the last 4 months until today. I'm getting some PS4S' tomorrow. I was loading them into my truck tonight and took plenty of pics in case the tire installer messes anything up. Then I noticed this on the inside lip of one of the front wheels: There is an uneven area with some bare metal and what looks like scuffing to the right. Like I said, this is the inside of the wheel and will never be seen. Do I have anything to worry about? Will the finish get messed up and will this area grow? |

I doubt it will grow.
Looks like a little damage during shipping. Seems like there is a little scratch as well on the right. I wouldn't worry about it. Unless your dealership is ready to pay for the repair, I'd leave it as it.

Over time there might be some bubbling that comes out of it, but assuming you're not running these when the roads are salty nor frequently on dirt roads it's probably gonna be a very long time until it happens.
If you want to be extra safe, the paint should be satin graphite metallic WA784U assuming the wheel paint didn't change for 2019 (it matches the wheel paint on my 2017 perfectly). Paint pens for that are relatively cheap and not a bad idea to have on hand for any small rock chips or scuffs you might get in the future, too.

Brake dust will cover that nicely.
