I haven't heard of any, but I just put the same wheels on last month. If mine do that, I'm taking them back to the place I got them from to see if they are covered by warranty. I didn't buy the Dick Cepek DC-1 blk wheels because they said there were having problems with the clear coat? I'm sure I will have the same luck!

Mine did. I have the knightchrome and they peel when they stay wet too long. Where ever the clearcoat peels it turns from chrome color to black. Very ugly. I am probably going to get them powder coated.

In Washington State the road de-icer eats all aluminum especially after a rock chips the sealer ( wheels, steps, toolboxes). I was talking to Discount Tire this week and no one will warranty for damage by de-icer.

Haha join the club man!!!! Mine started flaking off but I got lucky and the place that I bought them from ordered me 5 new ones under manufacturer defect It took way too damn long but I got them eventually. Anyways, call the place you bought them from and see if you can get them replaced that way and if not, make a direct call to Pro Comp....

My 8179s look pretty bad around the fake beadlock bolts. The combination of dissimilar metals and non-coated aluminum doesn't work out so well. I should have just gotten steelies in the first place!
