Does anybody have this? All of my 4 2019 si wheels have this unpainted finish all aroud the wheels and my brothers touring with the same wheels different color are perfect. I didn't notice on delivery. Can I still replace them under warranty ?

You mean the inside of the wheels? They all come like that. The paint on the factory wheels is thin and cheap, and does not cover the inside or back of the wheels.

If it bothers you, theres is the option of taking them to a professional wheel restoration place and have them all refinished for 150$ a wheel. Generally not worth it for the stock wheels until they start taking some damage from rocks or curbing, but most places do a really nice job. Here’s a picture i have from awhile back when i had one of my wheels refinished, and i was comparing it to the factory paint, deciding whether i wanted to have the other 3 done.
