I-Forged - Lemans Sunset
The clear coat is peeling off my left front and right rear wheels. iForged told me I could find a local finishing shop to try to repair them and they would refund my finishing costs or I could ship them back. My uncle has some connections in the aluminum polishing/finishing business and I'm going to let them take a look at the wheels in the morning to see it they can fix the problem or if I should ship 'em back to iForged.
The tire shop did put a pin head sized chip in the left front when they were balancing it, but I don't feel that this little chip should have turned into the clear beginning to peel off the whole spoke.
Also, the clear has peeled out of all of the lug holes on 3 of the four wheels. I don't believe this was caused by tire shop, because there were no scratches, other than the one mentioned above, when I took them home. I mounted the wheels/tires onto the car myself using a felt covered socket.
Overall, I'm happy with the look and metal work of the wheels, just a bit disappointed with the quality of the clear coat.
Here's a pic of the problem:

That doesn't look good. I'm expecting my wheels this Friday. Hope I don't experience this same problem but I will definitely post if so.
