Hi:
New to forum and just purchased a slightly used 08 GT AWD w/ 11k miles on it. I have read about a bad batch of 20" wheels produced in 2008 that have issues with the clearcoat. Even after washing the wheels they look very dirty. Unfortunately my 08 falls into that bad batch. I was searching this forum for more info in it but can't seem to find anything. I do know from reading somewhere in the past that some dealers are replacing all four at no cost. Does anyone have any feedback on this or help to steer me in the right direction? I haven't contacted the local Mazda Dealer yet because I was hoping to arm myself first with some literature. No TSB's I could find on it. Thanks in advance!
