Latest Rav4 Sidesteps

HI,

Was cleaning the steps on Monday and noticed that there is a rust spot on the side steps??

The side steps are silver and I thought to be aluminium....

Has anyone else got this problem?

Also, one of my wheels has a discolouration on the wheel on the spoke where there silver has changed colour and no amount of polishing gets rid of. Would this be valid as a warranty claim?

My XTR was bought 19th March 2008.

Any help would be grateful, thanks..

I've noticed some small spots of rust on mine as well. These things are extruded, so it must have been in the origonal mix

being contaminated with carbon steel.

My side steps do have some of these small rust specks too although I havent even thought of addressing these. As for the wheels I had all of mine replaced under warranty due to same small specks of rust appearing.
