Like mentioned above, relax and just enjoy driving your car.

Note: When I had my miata, I had two sets of OEM wheels (for summer and winter). So, when I switched them, I could tell which ones went on the right side ...... by the curb rash on the rims ......

Rotate your wheels to even out tire wear and curb rash there humz? Lol

Question #1: Do your tires stick out BEYOND the rim?

Thanks guys, I may not take it in to a shop and spend $$$, probably overreacting, and also since the fact its a new car makes me want to be extra cautious with it. But yeah, it isn't my garage queen or anything like that, its my 2nd daily driver, cars are made to take a beating. Maybe I'll replace the wheels anyway in the future with some more spiffy looking ones.

I did and do. I'm oldish school and believe that radial tires should be rotated from front to rear (and rear to front).
