Has anybody else checked the squareness of the mating surface of the Forged Wheels?

I am in the process of cleaning my wheels and noticed a ton of grime on the mating surface. I tried solvent, didn't cut it. I get to the point I use a sanding block with solvent and 660 paper. Does a great job cleaning it up, but what do I find, LOW SPOTS. Lots of them !

I continue along, now with a fine oil stone (that IS square), and as I'm working along I see the dreaded inner tire wear that haunts all of us. 2+2 ... could an unsquare mating surface be reaking such havok on our tires?

I would appreciate any Technical thoughts/experience on this subject.

Oh, and by the way, 660 emery paper and Carb Cleaner together does the trick on cleaning the inside of the wheels. Best done outside though...

I just had my car realigned to Carfixers specs. My much trusted tech said the factory alignment was the cause of the inner tire wear. I very much prefer the new settings. I can "feel the road" now.

Alignment.

I went to the carfixer specs at 3800 miles on the odo, now I'm at 17K+ negligible wear on the inside edges (probably due to my driving style :))

Thanks, I have the specs in hand.

I will be applying the same treatment to the other three wheels this weekend.

Will Silicone grease cure the Aluminum to Iron discoloration on the wheel?

Don't know, but it will prevent it from locking onto the hub.
