That’s common on wheel hubs and brake rotors. They are a steel compound that develops surface rust easy and aren’t painted on most vehicles. Go pop the center caps off most cars and you’ll find this.
Every other manufacturer would at least cover it up
I think there was supposed to be a center cover for the wheels, but there was some issue with them
Ya there was going to be a hubcap, but they were getting chucked off the wheels at high speed because they extended over the side of the tires.
Lol real developmental technology there with the center caps. Cutting edge stuff takes a lot of iterations to get right
Well, it was with the rubber wheel cover cutting into the tires. All they would need here is the tiny metal cap that is the same size as the actual hub, not the full wheel covering.
