Release Series 2.0 Wheel issue
1 Attachment(s)
I just picked up a set of used TRD wheels off an FR-S Release Series 2.0 for winter use (They came with snows mounted). The problem is that the clear coat is coming off. Doesn't look bad from a distance but are shite up close.
Is this a known issue or are these a rare, maybe only rims like it condition. I have no history on these wheels so don't know if the previous owner used a harsh cleaner or did something else to make this happen. Either way I am super happy with them fitting over the Brembos. Come the spring I'll pull the old snows off and get the rims redone. |
Mine peeled as well with low miles and sparse bad weather conditions.
I think they were originally gray wheels they tried to coat black for the RS 2.0 and the process wasn't ready for prime time. I had mine replaced while still under warranty and traded the car in before they peeled again. |
IIRC this is a common issue with these wheels. Check out the RS 2.0 owners thread on here and I think several owners have brought this up
|
Its common with the rs 2.0 black wheels with the peeling. In the states u can get the same wheels in gunmetal for cheaper that don't have this issue. Sad its not avail in Canada. Once mine start peeling I will purposely strip away all the black and either repaint or put a coating under the gunmetal base
