So, the wheels on our '12 PPV have little white squares painted on them. On one, the black paint has peeled a bit, so it's not a square, but it is there on the others. I thought that was something from it's service life in the Great White North, but I see the same square in pictures of others' PPVs.
Does anyone know why they are there?

Yeah I have them on all 4 of my wheels too. I was also curious what they were for. I'll try post a picture this weekend if nobody else does.

First post here:

Look at the pictures. There's lead weights, AND white painted squares. No correlation between the two.

Re: White squares on steel wheels?
Could they be the faded green stickers?

I'll double-check, but I don't think they're stickers, but paint. They may be where the black paint was pulled off when some sticker left the car at 155 MPH, I don't know, but they appear to be paint, to me.

Re: White squares on steel wheels?
Mystery solved, sort of. They are vinyl stickers. I'm guessing they had something printed on them new, that bleached/washed off?
They're stuck on very-well, I tried to peel one, and just got a corner up, and can't get enough of a grip on it to pull it up.
