Re:
There is certainly no red paint spots on mine and I would be more concerned about your car having been through some damage repair rather than the wheels showing paint spots!

Re:
This the first I heard if it anyway and I pay close attention to everything when I wash my car.
The only paint spot in the wheels are the ones marking the location if the air valve.

Re:
Well that"s different then and it is quite normal as it is the factory markings for the air valve positioning which is used by the tyre places when they put new tyres. That's normal and I have them too. Don't remove these markings!

Re: Paint Spots on Wheels
They meant to be there mate!
HERE is an explanation for what these dots mean and how the tyre places use them to line-up the tyres correctly when fitting them. I knew it had something to do with the tyre positioning on the rim.
They are on the "heavy" portion of the rim. The tyres have a paint dot on them also to indicate the light part of the tyre. The person installing the tyre should line-up the blue dot on the rim with marked spot on the tyre.
Having that one dot on each wheel is the OEM finish.

Re: Paint Spots on Wheels
No worries Michael.
