Anyone else getting discoloration on their 19" Infiniti Rims

Anyone else getting a weird almost purplish discoloration on their 2005+ 19" Infiniti with the shadow chrome type of painted finish on the Infiniti/Ray's rims?

I have it real bad on one rim and spots of discoloration on all the others.

My car was the first shipment of the 2005 6MT's in Hawaii.

They all do it.
Ironically there is a TSB for it but it's the dealers screwing them up.

Discoloration

Is this a warranty issue?

Or are they going to blame the owners?

I have never used anything other than Zaino car wash on the car and rims and do not use any silicone based tire dressing, etc.

anyone with the black chrome wheels will get that stain due to the wash and wax from the car shampoo you guys use. damn my 18 inch oem 7spoke was like that, fuken ugly brah. they told me becareful when you wash your rims dues to the discoloration. and no the dealership is not doing anything wrong this problem, they don't tell you the needs of how to take care of it, and how to treat it.

Mine should have been in the first shipment but it was sold from out under me lol... I got the second shipment tho... no discoloration noticed.

Hey do you think this is from wash or is it possibly from brake dust? I've seen brake dust stain through on the 03/04's before.
