Urgent: Why did these appear on my wheels?
 

Normally more eloquent. But drove 1500 miles today and am tired AF. Those ridges on either side of the wheel weight in those pics. They were not there before today. All four wheels look similar to those pics. Far from home, now thinking my wheels are going to fail on me. Can anyone explain? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9ecc0e0c16.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c720242e5a.jpg

Are you in Colorado, aka mushroom country :yum:
They look factory to me ...... they're too perfect to be deterioration
Question: is it on all 4 or just one or two ?

He said all four.


Chances of all four wheels failing at the same time - nil.

looks like dirt from the road, maybe some brake dust (But the factory brakes aren't that bad)

As cooltoy said, forged Rays factory wheels aren't going to crumble on you

if you are worried you can go to any tire shop and have the wheels checked out

Possible it was there, and didn't get noticed?
Hose it down and spray it with soapy water. No bubbles, no problems.

Those ridges were always there. You just noticed them with the dust.

:iagree:

^^^^^ This... You are panicking about nothing.

:iagree::iagree:

Holy hell! Dude, I'd absolutely sell that Z asap!!!!

Dude looks like a lady.

Just snagged a pic of my sport wheel.

My Nismo Rays look the same.

Ahhhhh, F***! Everyone now needs to ****ing ditch their Z ride! This problem seems to be blowing up everywhere!!!

It's not gay, if you THINK it's a woman. Ok then.

Bettyyyyyyyyy

The wheel ridges serve the vital role of countering the tire grooves. Without this crucial counterbalance, your car will implode.

:icon18:

Ill give you my mint v2 nismo rims. Less than 7000 miles on them

Do you really have plans on parting with them?

Betty your wheels are fine.

Prolly gonna implode anyway. Best to sell that Z for whatever u can get. Just saying....

I'd get some more rest, OP :twocents:

Yo Betty... I get those lines on my rims only when I have to change my oil. Do it, and you'll see the lines disappear like voodoo magic.

You're welcome.

My wife said: “Make sure the surface is clean, then gently apply this on the ridges at night, it will smooth out over time.” :roflpuke2:
