how to save magnesium wheel?
I just noticed this on my driver's side front wheel. I have no idea why the paint is peeling off like that. What can I do?
Thanks and happy 4th of July.

It is kind of hard to see from your photo is that the actual paint peeling or the sticky back from the wheel weight I also have the magnesium rims

If you do a search the color codes are available don't know if they are in spray form or not good thing it is on the inside you could lightly sand the loose spaint off touch up and spray a clear over it or take it to local tire shop and they should know a place that repairs rims now I nned to go see that I don't have a problem like that

touch up paint is available at the gm dealer. i don't know if you can get it in a spray or not. total mag wheel refinishing is available though. www.wheelcollision.com hope this helps.

What kind of wheel cleaner have you been using? Make sure it is something that is OK for painted/clearcoat wheels. Mark
