I'm having to put in a warranty claim for my wheels and I was wondering if any other 2015 STi owners are having the same problems. The original colour coating is cracking off my wheels, revealing a white base coat underneath. It's only happening right on the edge of the wheel where the tyre meets the rim. I thought it was tyre sealant for a while but It's definitely not.

I've had two sets of new tyres fitted (one winter, and just had 4 new Goodyear F1's). The fitters showed me the rims during fitting and they were perfect. I hope Subaru don't use this as an excuse not to replace them, because I can't prove it wasn't the fitters. It's weird how the coating has failed so quick though, because the Goodyears have only been on for about 600 miles.

I'll try to get some pics in a bit.
