Those marks could be from the tire man that changed or repaired the tire.

the machine that presses the tire on to the rim could scratch up the face.

That looks like they put the wheel face down on the ground.

i wouldnt let something that small hold me back..but being 2.5 hours away..test driving would be annoying to do..especially if u dont like it

Looks like that's actually corrosion...I've seen it on a few sets of wheels (never an S2K).

But wow look at those rotors! Seen road salt much?
