Anyway, I had a defect in my CS wheels. The painter missed a spot and it was pretty obvious. Ford replaced it under warranty.

I see im not the only one who's sat outside staring at their car!!!
All the time, man. Especially after a good wash/wax. Sure we're not the only ones

This^^^ You can see where the black comes up over the flat edge of spoke on the narrow sections. Probably no defect in the wheel, it's just a botched paint job.
I think the botched paint job theory is probably correct here, but I'm not sure. The spokes on the front wheel still look wider, evenaccounting for the paint.

That's what I wanted to hear. I should get the same treatment then. Still haven't heard anything yet

Good news! After almost a month, I finally got a call back from Ford and they're replacing all 4 of my wheels. Appointment on Monday.

Good result.....they looked very noticeable to me, I wouldn't have accepted it either.

Happy with the outcome. Not so happy with how long it took. Hopefully the wheels match this time!

I'd call that a pretty quick response myself. If there was no resistance along the way count it good!
