Raymond,
I was in the back corner of my garage this weekend and noticed my stock rims and tires that I use for winter were in really rough shape! I wash these every year before I store them to get any remaining salt off. 3 of the 4 rims look terrible, bubbling and flaking in all the corners of the spokes. I figure these have maybe 20k on them since the car has 40k...My question is...
Will Mazda do anything about this or am I wasting my time trying?

Have you guys looked at the rusting rotors?

I spoke with Kevin Godden from DWM about this. Its called "pitting". Right now Mazda Canada is not doing anything about it. Spk with your dealership at your next service and make sure they note it down on the invoice.

Supposedly its small stone chips that are rusting.

as p5girl said, bring it to your dealer's attention at your next service.....
