On my Standard STi 8 Gold Wheels the rear passenger side wheel has started to show small black marks.

Is this worth taking up with the dealer?

Question

Are you sure it's not tar ?

If it is, margerine gets rid of it quite well

T-cut is pretty good for that

Once your wheels are properly clean then you should wax them - seriously ! Just like the rest of the car, it stops things sticking and makes them much easier to clean.
