(please excuse the really dirty wheel/car)

Just noticed this today after a ~20min ride on the freeway. Any idea what the hell this is? It's pretty dried and it feels kind of sticky if you try to smear it around. I see it on the front driver's side (pictured), and a little tiny bit on the rear passenger's. It looks like whatever it is ran down a while ago, since its dried on.

I've only got 1600 miles on the car... followed the break in and all... didn't go autocrossing at 1001 miles or anything like that, just commuting to work mostly. Thoughts? I'll probably be bringing it by the local dealer monday.
