That is so weird--I have little drops of blue paint-like crap on my rims too.  There's like 2 or 3 drops on each rim.  Another weird thing is 1 or 2 lug nuts on each of my rims has yellow paint on it.  The things that make ya go hmmmm......

I wish I could help ya, but i'm wondering the same thing as you are.

dang, this is sounding like a conspiracy, I have the same thing, I've tried thinner (it does hurt the rim, but I put some polish to bring it back) and scratching it off with a blade, won't work. very strange....

Obviously, you all don't know what those blues spots are for so let me enlighten everyone. &nbsp;Some guy in the factory that manufactured those wheels figured the easiest way to tell a perfect rim from the not-so-perfect rim is to bloch it with blue paint. &nbsp;It's a pain in the a$$ to get off because they made it that way. &nbsp;Down the assembly line it goes and the old paint they used wore off easily. &nbsp;They recycled the flawed rim by melting it and if they put the paint on the flawed rim, it would contaminate the melted metal bin. &nbsp;Now you all know.
