Is there any product out there to protect the wheel?
How bad are your chips?
|
Its bad, I had my first chips within days of mounting the wheels. Its a shame, I love the wheels and the color. All 4 wheels have chips on about half of the spokes, the outer/rim part of the wheel has no chips. The wheels were installed in April of this year, never exposed to any salt/chemicals/fluids. I can snap pics if you want.
Where the chips are it looks like shiny black metal underneath so it appears they didn't prep properly or didn't prep at all. I don't think there's anything you can do to prevent it. You may want to just send them for powder coating before having tires mounted. I'm having mine done over the winter season.
