Default Rims flaking and bubbling finish

I have a 2005 Magnum R/T The rims are starting to flake and bubble underneath the finish. I have taken it to the dealer and am waiting to hear if it is going to be covered under warranty. Has anyone else had the same problems. The car had 58,000 kilometers on it when I noticed it.

I have'nt heard of this personally, but I would think as long as it is within the warranty period it should be covered. Good Luck.

They`re sitting in my garage , because I have currently havea set of polished SRT8 rims on the car.

Any name brand chrome polish/cleaner should work fine without scratching the chrome....I`ve used several different brands in the past , without any issues.

Thanks, I just want to keep my rims as shiny as possible, for as long as possible.
