I saw in a thread a while ago someone posting about having strange burn like marks on the outer rim of their wheels:

I just noticed a similar (but much worse) problem on one of my winter wheels (right front).

pics are below. I checked my tire pressure and it was low (like 22) and bumped it up to 34, but all 4 wheels were low (forgot to check them when i took of the summer ones [xx(]) but this problem only occured on the front right. I also noticed the car seems to vibrate at higher speeds (like one of the rims might be bent?). Any ideas?

Thanks for the info Bruce. It looks pretty bad, so maybe I will just replace that wheel. They are just winter wheels after all...
