Hi Not 100% sure if this belongs in here or in General to be honest. I noticed that the metal on one of my alloys seems to be bubbling ever so slightly. I've read mixed reviews on whether this is something which Mazda will replace under warranty (Ends in Dec) before I ring them demanding new wheels  Shell

Every MPS has this. Mazda will replace under warranty. I would wait a little for the other alloys to erupt and claim a full set. Don`t leave it too late though.

^^^^^^ yeah that.. if they all have signs of bubbling/flaking get it taken to mazda for them to inspect them.
i got the whole of mine changed, and i think the majority of owners also did.

Had all four changed on mine last week for free. Just took it in, they took a few pictures , Mazda agreed it straight away, wheels got ordered and they rang me a few days later saying that they'd arrived and to take it in to have them swapped over.
