Not yet but my $1295 polished rims are full of imperfections. I would never buy the Polished rims again!

Don't know if it is from the front breaks, but all 4 of my wheels have pencil lead sized pits. 5-8 per wheel.

I have the stock/painted rims, and their perfect. No problems with pitting yet.

I thought the same thing...until I noticed there was clearcoat OVER the pits.

The rims leave a bit to be desired in the final finish department. Funny thing is two have pits and two have a smooth finish and look like a different company made them. Go figure.
