Yeah - take em back.Remind them of their responsibility under the Consumer Goods Act 1992 (to supply goods of merchandisable quality and fit for the purposes they're being sold). Wheels with peeling lacquer after 4 months don't fit this description IMO

didnt realise how bad urs were - Ive got the same problem on two of my wheels - but not to the same degree - mines more inside the rim - so not as noticable - Id just go to SWT and take them off the car in the car park - and get there email address and send them these pictures - also contact dare-motorsport.co.uk

could it be something youve used to clean them? If not then if dare are a half decent company they should at least exchange them for you

no its the surface finish on them - they have a darker shinier finish that seems to be sprayed over a base coat - its this surface finish that bubbles and then cracks and breaks off - nothing dowith cleaning IMO
