Default chrome wheel pitting

I hate having problem with chrome wheels ,because I've been battling that delima for a while. I notice that no matter what brand of wheel you buy it will happend sooner or later. I have a few set that is starting to have a pitting problem. Does anybody have solution for this ? Is there anyway of minimizing it? I see this problem with every chrome wheels expensive and cheap wheels.

Need to keep them clean regularly. Dirt and especially brake dust can eat away at chrome wheels.

Wheels are always clean . I believe chrome is just like paint , if the prepping is not up to par then its subject to lifting regardless if it was properly maintain. I never had a set that was nice after one year . I think chrome is just not worth the problem after it start to peel. The 9 out of 10 people had problem with chrome peeling cant be a coincidence .
