Defective Wheel?

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
All,

Has anyone had any issues with the paint flaking off of their wheels? This has happened now three times to me in 7500 miles.

I thought that it might be "user error" the first two times, but this chip happened during a three mile drive that didn't include any incidents or parallel parking.

The wheel repair guy I used to fix it the first two times said he believes the wheel is defective.

Comments? (Other than telling me I hit something which I didn't)

Thanks.
Tim

It looks like chipping by some hard objects or stones, not paint flaking off. Can you post a zoomed photo?
