    They're clearcoated... are you saying the clearcoat is chipped off? You're probably on your own, was probably caused by a rock or something. Otherwise I don't understand the actual defect.

    Do you have a pic? Mine are have the cancer (white rust?)around the center cap. Had one replaced but almost every rim I have (there's 8) has it to some degree. If these were powdercoated &/or clearcoated, they didn't do a good job. I run mine in the winter but I did my previous cars and their rims didn't look like this.

    I was a sucker and BOUGHT the wheel warranty. But now I'm thinkin' it might have been smart. Got a scratch or two on a couple and some of the white 'cancer' that magnumlover was discussing.

    I'm curious how this turns out for you!
