Nothing personal at all I just get annoyed by people that ask for feedback but discount it if it's not the answer they want. I've also seen no other posts of anyone with experiences like yours (with RG-R's or RS-GT's) on this or any other boards and I follow a lot of them.

Sometimes (with any product) there are production problems. That's why certain products are warrantied. Just because one is bad doesn't mean they're all bad. Have you explored the warranty route yet? I thought by posting that your experience isn't universal you'd follow up with a warranty claim.

Again, what wheel cleaner are you using? The wrong product or application of strong stuff like wheel cleaner can ruin a finish without any manufacturing defects. I also take it from your reply that you've never waxed your wheels either.

I'll be running two track days at VIR this weekend on the RG-R's because my track wheels (SSR Comp 17x8.5) are hopelessly backordered. After I get a chance to wash the car afterwards I'll post a pic. BTW...please post a pic of your problem wheels.

 

how come no one like dirty cars... i like my car dirty as hell

 

I like my car dirty. but its also because i'm lazy

 

the more mud the better I feel...especially when it is clumped in the wheel well.
