There's no such thing as "stock chrome".
Those chrome wheels are all done after they have left the factory.
CRAPPY chrome plating will always peel like that.

i work in a tire shop and i see that kinda stuff all day long. its just the way life is unless its a good name brand aftermarket rim then it might not ever peel but about every dang wheel that is chrome dose it.

 

RETed - you are wrong. I purchased a set of stock chrome rims off a member of this forum 10 years ago and have them on my car.

 

chrome does not like to stick to Aluminum.... best you usually get is around 5 years before it stats to erode & peel off.

 

 

I've had my stock chrome fd wheels for nearly 7 years and no flaking. They actually look mint but they have been garage kept probably most of its life.
