Default Chrome wheel problem

Notice the last couple of weeks that it appeared that the clear coat or chrome was coming off the inside of my stock 03 wheels I went to the dealer as my three year warranty is almost up; they were as to cause but had four instock and are replacing under warranty Just curious if anyone else has experienced this problem?

you don't even own or drive a corvette Dealer said he thought that some sort of tire cleaner may have been sprayed on the wheels. Only go to one car hand wash and they deny using anything which may have caused damage....but thanks for responding Tom, what are friends for
