Nope, rumor states it's some type of lead based paint which is banned in the US.

Just ask the dealer who they use and take it to them instead. My dealer charges $180/wheel. I got it fixed by the same people(bypassed the dealer) and they did it for $110.

hahahahaha no more puppy in the car...at all.

thanks a lot guys for the advise...damn it, i dont know what to do now. Cause some of you guys say it wont look perfect, maybe i should just get a new rim...

by the way, there isn't anything wrong with the tire...it just looked like that in the picture. It's perfectly fine, just the rim.

I'll see what the options are, i'll check out the place magicure here in philly
