I recently notice that one of my 172's is peeling. I don't know if this still under warranty as it is a 08 550i with 13k miles. Has anyone notice this with there wheels.

It should be under warranty. When the dealer asks you what you use to clean your wheels, reply, "Nothing but soap and water."

But now that I think about it. I think it was the wheel cleaner that I used that caused it.

I'm pretty sure it is covered in your 4 year or 50,000 mile factory warranty.

I had them clean with just normal soap and water. I don't use any abrasive type cleaners. It's just on this one wheel only. I'll show my service advisor wednesday and see what they say. Hopefully they will replace it.

My Ride: 2011, X6 Hybrid . Alpine White , every option. 20" Conti' NON runflats,OEM trunk spoiler , LUX V3 AE's , HP Thunder Fogs , custom front bumper reflector delete........
That's definitely a defect , but just to be careful say you wash them with soap and water . It looks like the clear coat or some other sealant is coming off , good luck
