Pulled the wheels out from under my house this past weekend b/c I had a looong haul to pick up a 4runner. The freaking clear coat on all 4 stock rims is already peeling, the things were only run for ~1000miles. You cant get anything worth a crap anymore!

Same with mine, clear coat quality must be crap.

My 2010 20's are the same way. They look really bad. One wheel is almost completely bare because most of the clearcoat flaked off.

I must be the oddity as my 2010 wheels are fine!

It's interesting that it's circular like curb rash.

Guess I feel slightly better im not the only one. Its definitely not curb rash, it looks like little worms under the coating. Around the edge there's no clear coating at all, I had pieces come off when I rubbed it

What are you using to clean the rims acid lol mine did this on my platinum when I bought it make sure not to use all wheel cleaner or aluminum wheel cleaners just soap and water. Those cleaners do a number on the crappy finish. I'm about to scuff mine off and use a dupli color clear

Thats the thing... nothing! They have been sitting in storage. Haven't even been on the truck or in the elements

I used a metal grade paint stripper and took the clear right off on my Platinum wheels. Then wet sanded out the worm like corrosion and polished back to a shine. But now I need to decide if I should clear coat again before winter or not?
