Have EXACTLY the same problem. Reported at 3200 miles. Dealership called yesterday (5 weeks after showing them/digital pictures for Ford rep. review). They got authorization for new/replacements, but the parts/service advisor say, right out of the box they already look like the new units will have the same "problem". Have read on this forum that some dealerships are being told that if customers are willing to wait awhile, new replacements will be forthcoming and have better chrome clad finish. Don't know if this will help you, but I would be willing to wait, if this were the eventual outcome (haven't been offered that alternative just yet; heading in to discuss later this week).

2008 Edge Limited at 2845 miles; 20" chrome wheels are showing brass finish through the chrome at the hub of ALL spokes on ALL wheels. Dealership reviewed. Waiting Ford rep. response. Anyone seeing the same? (Thanks in advance) Dealership detailer said that buffing would not resolve. NO solvents used to clean them so far. Their take on it is that the manufacturer is not applying enough chrome plate to cover this part of the spoke area and then properly buffing the finish. The face is excellent; spokes are the issue.
