Default Any 5-spoke wheels out there???

My dreamer wheels are peeling-bummer. Anyone else here have that problem? I think Spiderman had his replaced and I think another dreamer around here has also. Anyone else have any problems?

I have the Mopar 5-spokes with the black and red center caps which are otherwise identical with the dreamer wheels. They're all made by Prime, I believe and I'm also getting some bubbling and peeling near the back where the spokes meet the center. Seems like a general defect.

its not just those wheels, all of the chrome wheels peel and crack if used in wintry areas. If you are set on that style ive seen a couple of sets go up on ebay, brand new!

I just had the wheels off of the Dream 1 last weekend to do a thorough cleaning of the car, and I did not notice any defects in the wheels. I try to keep a coat of Meguire's wax on them after polishing the chrome, and there is little need for raod salt down here.Discount tire carries the wheels, too.
