Sportivo wheel mounting surface

[Rev29K]

Are Sportivo owners having issues with rust appearing on the wheel mounting surface, I think it's called ? If you look through the wheel spokes there's rust forming and even on the disk brake too.

I have a Corolla Ascent Sport and i get the same thing, but it always ends up disappearing when i drive. I find it only happens after it rains.

My Sportivo has also got the same thing happening, I saw some new cars at the Mazda dealership also got rust on the brake discs, so I think it's normal. The rust gets worn out once you drive the car and apply the brakes.

This is quite common in all vehicles, its called surface rust on the disc and disc assembly modules. Don't worry about it. From Kia's to Ferrari's have it. It's not a Sportivo Issue. A bit of RP40 does the job.

You can scrub it off the hub with an old toothbrush, but no point in doing the rotor, as soon as you wash the car or it rains it will appear again

It's a bare metal surface so of course it'll rust with moisture. If you don't like it then prep it and paint it whatever colour you like.

I'll take it back to the dealer and get it checked out.
