Pics would help. What do you mean by black piece under the center piece? Do you mean the center cap of the wheel? It's probably either brake fluid or oil from a busted hub seal.

You'll need to post your vehicle info before we can help you. D1's and D2's are very different beasts.

Now is the perfet time to have your wheels bearings replaced.
Go to www.atlanticbritish.com and order their DI hub repair kit x2, it is new hub seals and 2 wheel bearings, buy two kits and you will get two seals and 4 bearings.
I did this because I had a bad wheel bearing over a year ago, $120 for both kits, $60 to have the local muffler shop do the work.
