the chrome is beginning to peel on a inner fin of my rim. is there anything i can do to help stop it from peeling further? would laying superglue on the edges of the peeling help? or am i sol? thanks

JB Weld epoxy will hold the edge down (if you can get some slightly underneath where it's starting to peel) But once it starts to delaminate, it's all downhill from there. May help buy you time though. Make sure you use a wax & grease remover first if you do use epoxy like that, or it won't stick very well.

The JB Weld will work better than CrazyGlue on metal ( which is what chrome plating is of course )

chrome peelage or pitting is a sign of a bad dipping or bad batch.

I would contact manufacturer for warranty replacement


to redip them, will just end up worse

dude....didn't you just get these wheels like 6 months ago (or something like that)?

I'd complain to the seller / manufacturer....but that's just me.

good luck in getting them fixed or replaced.

i've been told to put some clear coat nail polish on the part that is peeling....it's worth a shot....

Can you take a picture of the actual peel on the wheel? Is it only peeling on one spot or several ones?

koreanpers

yea, i can take a pic 2morrow

i did get these from a fellow cl member they were used...and i didnt see pix beforehand. o well. u live and learn.

i have jb weld somewhere...i gotta find it... but u think clear nail polish will help too?

thanks for all the advice ppl

I had this problem on my first set of rims... very cheap.... and they started peeling and i noticed it. before they started to peel out to the outter edges, i used clear fingernail polish and applied it smoothly around the peeling edges, and no more peeling problems.

there is no "real" way to fix chrome peeling except to rechrome the whole thing though

hey thanks ppl these arent cheap chromes..these are real momo rims. do u think its worth it to buy silver/chrome paint to try and cover up the already peeled part? then i will put the nail polish over it

i had a set of momo arrows in chrome and they started peeling about 1 year after I got them.
