Has any other RB5 owners had paint on their standard wheel fadding away.
I say fade, as it not really peeling off, but sort of rubbing off. They (Subaru) said it's not covered on warranty but if there are other cases then maybe something could be done about it.
please post with a yay or nay

Thanks Adam

Mine are bubbling up - I think running Mintex M1155 pads started it as hot particles seemed to burn through the laquer and then let the moisture in. Plus they are 4 years old...
