Anyone else have this issue?!
The last couple of times I detailed my car, I noticed that my factory rims near the center cap are peeling a bit. Could that be caused by brake dust accumulating over time and eating away at the alloy?? Anyone else have this issue? I guess it may be time to powder coat em'!

Are they "peeling" or "pitting"? If you have painted wheels and they are actually "peeling" then there's something very wrong there.
If they are "pitting" then most likely there's been a combination of things (stuff picked up from the road surface) that have damaged the paint and the metal. I don't know if brake dust is caustic enough to break down paint and metal. I wouldn't think so...

You can get all four wheels powdered coated for $150-200?
I doubt all four wheels have been repaired. Probably just one or two, as the right side are the mostly likely to get curb rash.
I think if you get it properly repainted, the paint will last a long time. The last time was probably a rush job by a dealer to get it looking nice for sale.

You said it cost about $150-200 per wheel to get painted again so what I meant was I can get them powder coated for roughly that much per wheel and before this even happened I was thinking for a while about getting them powder coated black. So now with the flaking rims only to get worse it will def propel me to finally do what I wanted. Yes, all four wheels have them. The two pictures are the fronts and the rears have a little bit but not as much flaking like the front ones.
