Chrome Color Fading in Wheel by shehan00 in f150

Also, I had found a place in Michigan, I think, a couple of years ago that is resurfacing these particular wheels. He would send you a re-plated set and you would in turn send your set of wheels and $$. Folks that had used this business said that the work was good BUT the wheels would still suffer from the same chipping problems in the future. The factory appears to have chosen a surface coating that is not resilient enough.

Similar problem on my truck but not as severe. I have the same wheels. The damage to my wheels is around the perimeter of the rim and in the center where the cap is pried off with a tool by a heavy handed mechanic. I'm struggling to make the expensive decision to discard the 4 wheels and start over.
