Default Chrome wheel problem

Has anyone had this happen?Wheels are 7mo. old,car was put away in nov. a few weeks ago I noticed that two of the m looked like they had flaked or pitted,the inside part also looked more pitted than flakey.Pulled one of them today and it reminds me kinda like weld splatter for lack of a better discription.I've contacted the vender and they want pictures and when I sendthem back they are going to test them for brake dust and salt corrosion before they honor the warrantee.I don't want to mention the vender until I get it resolved.One definetly is flaked others are suspect. HELP! :banghead:

So you are talking about OEM wheels that have been chromed? I've noticed some questionable areas on mine, but unfortunately they're past the end of the warranty... :reddevil
