I can appreciate wanting to get to the bottom of this ASAP. Yeah, clean with a wheel cleaner and I'd take it one step farther: go to an autobody/paint supplyt place and get a small bottle of PrepSol/etc. solvent. Clean things with that, which oughta strip off *everything* except the paint See if it uncovers residual marring and if so, ask for the new wheel(s). But I wouldn't tell 'em you used the PrepSol

BTW, solvents like that are handy to have around anyhow, so it's not like a waste of time/money or anything.

Yeah, I tried to buy some at Wal-Mart that someone suggested was the same thing but the one I go to didn't have any. I'll hit an auto parts store and pick some up. Thanks again for your advice!
