Stock rims peeling?
Hello there. I was washing my car today and noticed the front passenger side rim started peeling. I don't know if this is the paint, clearcoat, build up brake dust or what? Does anyone have this problem? My car is a 2014 IS250 (non-F Sport).

Have the wheels ever been refinished? Are you the original owner?
It kinda looks like the paint is coming off. Maybe a pic with a little more light might help to identify it.

hi, i have a 2014 f sport and have also been having a problem with the wheels, but in my case, the wheel paint is actually bubbling instead of peeling. I feel like since most 3rd gen is are still under warranty, you should try to bring it in and have them handle it. I also read on a couple of other forums that this is a common problem among Toyota wheels especially the Toyota Sienna and Tundra. In most cases, the dealership just replaced the wheel and I feel like this might be the case as well.

My 2014 F Sport has the same problem. I also have a wheel that's darker than the others (it was recently replaced by Discount Tire, old one was bent). I'm probably just going to get some aftermarket 19's once the tires are worn out

This is what I am dealing with. It's much worse now.

I think that was the refinished rim.
On the edge of the peeling (on the left side) it looks like there is paint under the paint...which would suggest that is the refinished rim.

2019 RX450h F-Sport Stock Rim Paint Failure
My 2019 rims
are toast too. Sure curb rash is an issue, but to have so much paint flake off towards the inner rims is appalling. I wonder who thought painting rims on a $65k SUV was a great idea?

Interesting because a friend of mine who has an F sport was telling me how the paint on his IS was coming off.. he went to the dealer and they claimed that it was "wear and tear"... lol
