It is minor and the paint is fairly spotty on the wheels anyways. I may end up having them repainted at some point. Maybe I'm a sucker and should have pushed the issue. *shrug*
I test fitted one of my rims on the Mustang today just for kicks. I did notice the paint scratches REALLY easily - I dinged it against the caliper on the inside. I figure as often as I wash the car the brake dust should hide any issues just fine. This clearance batch may be paint seconds as easily as it scratched... Which is fine by me. They have a one year finish warranty, so if it all falls off I'll be covered. For a while.
I also noticed that I will need to remove the retainer washer that slips on one lugnut to hold the disc down. The factory rims have a slight recess machined on the back of each lug hole but the new rims are flat. Torquing the lugnuts would warp the wheel on the washer.
FWIW, they bolt up to a 2014 Mazda 6 as well. The rim clears the suspension and I think a 255 tire would as well. The fender would need some work but it might be doable.
