Default Peeling clear coat on wheels

Do our wheels have some kind of clear coat? I thought these were pretty much baked on and not like a saran wrap....... check out my pics. Only one wheel has this issue.

Yes, our wheels do have a coating on them. It is my understanding that all cast wheels have a coating to protect from degradation.

Why is it that Toyota corp has crappy clearcoat? I've had a bunch of Toyotas that have this issue on paint. I've owned many other cars but no issues with clear coat.
