WCC wheel problem
My WCC wheels are pealing on the inside drum area. The outside area looks okay. If you look through the spikes to the inside you can see large peaces of chrome pealing off. So far I only see it on one wheel. (I have not really checked the others yet.)
Car is always garaged and never out in bad weather although that should not make any difference.

Anyone else with this problem?

WCC thingie
They should last forever if not longer if kept clean. Problem area is the plating, a good shop will buff the whole wheel, as in ALL of it to ensure a ++ finish. Contact the rep, don't wait....
