Anyone else have this problem

Does anyone else have this problem with their American raceing wheels???

 

did you get any chemicals or anything on it? brake dust is caustic as well. Have you washed them frequently?

 

Straight up flaking right off. No sign of scratching. That sucks.

 

Mine look exactly the same just on the center hub cover the rims themselves are great

 

Yea I wash them pretty often cuz I like them to be nice and shiny and no I haven't gotten any chemicals on them.

 

What products do you use to wash? Any aggressive brushes?

 

My pro comps did the same shit like a month after putting them on. I stopped caring. Its a part that touches the road (in a sense) shit happens man.

 

You sure those aren't knockoffs?

 

Nope I use black magic no scrub wheel cleaner

 

I hope not but it seems like the wheels are good just the centercaps suck

 

I've had mine for almost a year and no issues. It looks like they used no primer on those caps. I would use a wire brush attachment on a drill motor to remove all the chipping paint. Then start with a good etch primer and black satin top coat. Ask around in the detailing forums for advice on good paint brands. I use Duplicolor for pretty much anything automotive related.

I have those rims on my truck too but I switched out the center caps because I didn't like the look of the stock ones (too long).

 

Do you ever let the product dry on?

Harsh products can degrade the finish of the wheel. So I would use professional detailing products vs a $3.99 bottle of wheel cleaner that claims you can spray it on and just rinse the dirt off lol

Contact the wheel company and see if they will replace it. Not sure how long you have had them but that shouldn't be happening.
