Come on guys please have a look at you're wheels and tell me if they are missing paint every one I've looked at so far are missing paint behind the spoke and it can be seen easily

My silver sets are white behind the spokes so it sounds like a common theme?

just an update on the alloy wheels the dealer was told by bmw to order a new wheel in and compare with mine it appears the new wheel is fully painted so a new set of four wheels are being ordered under warranty
cheers

Just thought I would add the wheels are still on back order no sign of delivery, mentioned today what would happen if I was to curb one in the mean time and the reply was they would have to look again at the warranty claim >:(
