what are you using to clean the wheels? How long did you have them, did you drive them around in the winter? Do they salt your roads?

No never been driven in the winter as I have the falkens on so had winter wheels
Its NJ sso yes they do salt the roads, the wheels arent 8 months old...................... so regardless if they were on year round the finish should not fall off.
I have written to the manufacture and see what they wish to do ......... and then I will go from there

I had CSL reps from VMR...and the paint quality left something to be desired. It flaked off very easily, was brittle and not even. But your MIRO's look a lot different than the issues I had.
Hopefully they'll replace them. Usually the rims come with a 12-month warranty.

No wheel that new should look like that. Must just be a defect in the paint. It's a shame as they are really a great design. Good luck with the replacements.
