Wheel issues

[FUNX650]

If it is it didn't take the clear coat off. I rubbed some acetone on one of the spot and a film came off which I assume is the clear coat but each area is slight indented. I ran my thumb nail over the edge in a few spots and my nail caught the edge.

•IMO:
-If it isn’t “curb rash”...then:
It would take something like applying
sulfuric acid and scrubbing the wheel
with an angle grinder—equipped with
a wire-cup brush attachment—to inflict
that kind of damage.

-Your cleaning method was nowhere
near that level of ferocity!

Curb rash, with grooves in a circular pattern.


Bob is spot on.

Exactly, that tells you something abrasive (concrete curb) has rubbed against the wheel.

Is this the passenger side? Do all four wheels look the same?

I did all four wheels and they all have this damage. The two on the drivers side are the worst, the passenger side rear has less spots while the front passenger side has almost nothing.

Do know what curb rash look like?

Again...
I do not believe you caused any of those
wheel damages with the cleaning processes
that you have outlined in this thread.

With that being said:
Suggest to your buddy to have a mobile
alloy wheel repair service come out and
refurbish this set of wheels. The damages
will no longer be noticeable; and it won’t
cost an arm and a leg to get it done.
