SILVER Star
After picking my new HE up I noticed these stains. I have tried various cleaners, so far no luck, any suggestions?

Yep good point. Dealer recommended a cleaner, in writing. I suspect that if their recommendation doesn’t work they will be open to resolution. Up to this point my experience w this dealer has been respectable.The problem is if you mess with them too much, apply cleaners/solvents, etc., there's a pretty good chance the dealer will use that to blame you and absolve themselves from responsibility.
As recently as today someone posted here that they were in contact with BBS and they said all of their wheels are painted.
This could be it. I was concerned they were scratches but they don’t appear to be.My gut is that's brake dust plus tire shine. The shine stuff can be pretty difficult to get off, but I've had luck with Eagle One A2Z wheel & tire cleaner. I hate tire shine because it slings all over the place making dirt/dust stick to that. Every used vehicle I buy gets it removed with this stuff and a brush as soon as I get home.
Obvious disclaimer of testing in a small spot.. but it's designed for wheels so should be safe.
What size tires/any lift?This could be it. I was concerned they were scratches but they don’t appear to be.
The dealer had some gooeee tire shine on when I picked it up and I immediately had a lengthy drive.
I am a clean car fanatic and keep my stuff clean so my OCD is kicking in. While I have cleaned a wide variety of wheels, some very expensive, I just wasn’t sure on these abs these marks seemed unusual. Here is a pic of LC
