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.

The wheels are mounted already...I guess all I can do is cross my fingers. Never had wheels that chipped paint before. Are XXR really that bad? If anything happens I will contact customer support. Hopefully they will honor the warranty.
Would love to see the pics... I really hope that the wheels I purchased were in a batch that were prepped correctly. Don't want to be scared to wash and drive my car.
