Very poor wheel rebuild.

UPDATE- I tried some things that people on this thread suggested but nothing worked. Last Thursday I took it to the local dealership and they said they felt the coating was coming off the rim. They put a warranty claim in with Ford and said that a rep should be contacting me with in the next week. Thanks for the support and I will keep everybody posted.

I still can't believe that this problem hasn't surface in other cars yet.....????

FWIW...mine have been off the car and sitting for a bit over a month, after removing from the car and washing. Tearing them down today to sell the tires. I checked for this, but have not seen any degradation of the finish.

Sometimes shitty things happen. Glad it's not happening often.

I faced a similar problem on my 2014 S197 with the Brembo Pkg. Those wheels were painted in a similar way, beautiful color coat and a clear. The clear peeled off very early in ownership, it was a known problem. I never used hard or acidic wheel cleaners.

To Ford's credit, I bought the car used (in factory warranty period) from a used car dealer who had all different makes and models. I took it to my local ford dealership in Tustin CA at the time, no prior relationship with them whatsoever, they replaced all 4 rims, only two were peeling at the time. It was a known problem, not wide spread, but enough to catch Ford's attention. They handled it in the best way possible. I think Ford will take care of you here.

Look in the driver's side door sill.

33 psi (2.27 bar) cold I believe.

The Ford Pass App will also recommend same.

Yes. Recommended is around 2.3 bar cold, I use 2.4 bar for our not spectacular roads.
