has anyone else noticed the little spider web cracks forming on the rims? My MM is pretty new! I spent over an hour trying to polish them out, they're harder to see now, but they're still there.

None so far at 6200 miles. Do you park your car outside? Sun related possibly?

Wheels are clear coated. Be careful what you polish them with.
No I have not seen cracks as of 6,000. miles on mine.

none on mine. As Bigdog said, be careful what you wipe down dirty wheels with. Brake dust is very course, and just wiping it away dry will scratch the clear coat.
You can polish the clearcoat with a fine auto polish, then give them a good coat of wax.

I use Mother's on my wheels. But, I was wondering if maybe the tire foam stuff I use was causing the spider cracks. Any ideas?

tire foam :( not a big fan of that.... i use a watered down purple power then apply tire black a clear mixture then use a cloth/cotton in the can wheel polish!
