So my rims are starting to peel at the corners. Seems like a clear coat or something. Looks like sh!t, bringing it to the dealer next week. Will try and post some pics later.:mad:

Did you ever use any wheel cleaning products on them?

I'm seriously considering stripping the clear-coat from my wheels and polishing them properly. At that point, I might respray them with clear. I haven't decided on that yet. The factory polish job is garbage, and the clear just keeps you from making it any better (or worse, I suppose).

Got my Jeep from Kelly in Lynnfield.

Yeah I used to use this wheel cleaner on the rims a while back. It says its safe for all wheel types. Cant remeber the name. Wheel see what happens!! lol. Maybe new rims from the dealer?!

We should all set up a meet sometime guys. Get all the srt's together. I'm on a couple other forums, know some people with 300 Srt's and Chargers, and srt4's, all from Mass.

did you also have a problem with your wheels? both driver side wheels are peeling like mad... now when i look close they are starting to show some tiny rust spots..!! im wondering if chysler will take the fault for this or i have to get them fixed myself.. its more principle than money.. its BS to think we have to be responsible for a cosmetic problem on basically a NEW vehicle

thanks

I have the same danm problem. It is around my center caps and SRT8 logo on the wheels and a little bit in some of the corners. I live in WI and blame it on our wonderful city that insists on coating the roads with more salt than snow. Called the dealer, they needed to get some pix for approval. They said they have done it before on other Dodges, Chryslers, and Jeeps.
