I recall seeing many posts on the 9-3bb about this when I first found TSN after buying my 2000 Viggen last Fall. I'm considering approaching my dealer for warranty coverage on mine. From 10ft they look gorgeous. Up close the finish appears "blasted" at the leading edge of the spokes (I suppose from debris). But more of concern is that in each rim there are a few spots the size of a coin that appear to be bubbling up behind the finish as if there's corrosion under the finish.
Here's my plan. Search the 9-3bb for the words "Viggen rims", "finish", etc and print any posts that refer to wheels replaced under warranty. I'll use them if my dealer questions the validity of the claim. GOOD LUCK.
