HRE Wheel issues

Hello, I have owned a set of HRE541's now for about 1.5 years. They are painted Brilliant Silver with Polished rims. Problem I am having is the paint is chipping off, and this is not from rock chips or dings but just coming off in flakes. I have spoke with two other owners of similar HRE's and they have the same problem. Suggestions, ideas? The cost way too much to be doing this.

Metal flex has probably broken the paint bond from the inside. Or, the surface was not properly prepped for paint . All of our wheels have a finish warranty and some are for more than a year. I would definitely be contacting HRE.

Usually ArmourAll or P21S wheel cleener, sprayed on only if the wheels are cool, then brushed and rinsed off - cleaner is on wheel less than 2 minutes
