anyone have wheels that are chipping on the 05-07 sprints? I noticed after a 30 mile ride yesterday I came back to put her away and noticed the front wheel had what looked to be paint chips in the wheels! :???:

The only chips I have are self inflicted while changing tires. I fixed mine with a black magic marker.

Only chips on my wheels are from tyre fitters.
