Default wheels peeling already? Donz montanas

This is bull**** i had these wheels on for two weeks in November took em off and put them back on the other day. Well this morning i go to the self service car wash to hose my wheels off and notice one of my back wheels are peeling. this has to be a defect. no way this can happen that fast. i hardly drive the car! I wonder if this is under warranty? I never used any chemicals on these wheels. Here is a upclose picture its hard to make out.

I hate how we have to pay so much money for something that can't use all year. But the OEM chromes stay flawless for at least a couple of years. Those wheels probably was exposed to road salty air.

Yeah call Donz, they are a stand up company so I dont see them giving you too much of a problem. I know tons of guys with these wheels and never had a problem. Did you get them from D2?

Robert, I replied to your PM already, I'll get this taken care of ASAP, just get me the info I asked you for.

As for the peeling, the Brushed has clearcoat and in the elements (especially the salt dust thats in the ground even after the snow is gone) the clearcoat gets hammered.

Either way you know we have you covered bro, no worries

Leave it up to Derrick to be a stand up kind of guy. Way to go bro, I knew you would come through.
