Chrome is peeling from my rims...quick fix?
the chrome is beginning to peel on a inner fin of my rim. is there anything i can do to help stop it from peeling further? would laying superglue on the edges of the peeling help? or am i sol? thanks

JB Weld epoxy will hold the edge down (if you can get some slightly underneath where it's starting to peel) But once it starts to delaminate, it's all downhill from there. May help buy you time though. Make sure you use a wax & grease remover first if you do use epoxy like that, or it won't stick very well.
The JB Weld will work better than CrazyGlue on metal ( which is what chrome plating is of course )

dude....didn't you just get these wheels like 6 months ago (or something like that)?
I'd complain to the seller / manufacturer....but that's just me.
good luck in getting them fixed or replaced.

I had this problem on my first set of rims... very cheap.... and they started peeling and i noticed it. before they started to peel out to the outter edges, i used clear fingernail polish and applied it smoothly around the peeling edges, and no more peeling problems.
