Default F-sport wheels peeling

Hi everyone,
I bought my IS250 F sport used and i noticed the wheels starting to peel. Looks like a clear coat is peeling off. What do you guys do?

Kinda sounds like the wheels were refinished...and not refinished properly.
Did you get it from the dealer or independent sale?
If it was Lexus certified pre-owned, just take it back to the dealer and ask them to fix.

i agree, sounds like either dealer had repaired, or previous owner had repaired for curb rash or whatever imperfection. Dealer can determine if it is in fact factory paint by measuring the thickness with a electronic or magnetic measurement tool. Make sure you demand that, and if they end up covering, then you are set. Also, if you purchased from a Lexus Dealership, be sure to take back to them. They will be more prone or obligated to assist you.
