Re: Alloy wheel flaking
Probably been cheaply refurbed in the past.
Nothing fancy.
Just have them refurbed, powdercoat is best.

Re: Alloy wheel flaking
Its the lacquer that`s coming off. Maybe with the type of wheel cleaner you use but is common since they aren`t powder coated to begin with.
Powder coating will last longer than being pained but you get a thicker coat. Where paint gives a more fine detailed finish.
