Paint cracking on factory painted rims

[jbilledeaux]

Have any of you had problems with the silver paint cracking on the factory rims? I've looked for TSB'S on DC, I know I havent curb checked or anything like that. On my driver rear rim the paint has acutually started peeling I guess that $0 ded on my insurance will come in handy now:rock:

 

[FastRam]

I didn't know they came painted? Mine have the chrome finish option. Is this what is peeling. e.g the plating?

 

[Stagethree]

What silver paint?

Clear coat?

Mine are not painted.:dontknow:

 

[Brat]

Must be the clear coat,mine arnt painted either.

 

[JAYSSRT]

My rims are painted black and they havent cracked yet.

 

[ChrisAZ]

Yeah it's got to be the clearcoat. They aren't painted.

 

[labontecsi]

my clear has chipped too. looks like hell. I'm just going to get them powdercoated.

Factory rims are powdercoated clear. All it takes is one small pin hole and get some moisture under it and it will begin to look like crap. Kind of like rust...it begins to creep everywhere from first contact. Not much you can really do at this point but have the rim repaired. The clear coat can be removed chemically or bead blasted. You'll want to have it repowdercoated so you are not spending every weekend polishing oxidized aluminum.

It must be the clear though, and yes it looks like crap

DUDE, i had the same problem, hairline cracks on the inside of each spoke, only had 10k on the truck. took it to dodge, they replaced all four of my rims under warranty. are you still under warranty? if not i would make a stink

Yup, you're right. I've got a brand new set of (4) PAINTED silver wheels in boxes from Dodge.

Yea, Im still under warrenty, but the problem is I work here at the service department, and my District rep is an a$$, and doesn't like "refurbishin employee's vehicles." So I guess I'm gonna call my insurance and file it against comp, thank god i elected that $0.00 ded 2 months ago!!
