Good chrome shouldn't of done that, I had set of chrome wheels on my car 14 years, taken it to the beach many times and never had problem, and living Ft Lauderdale Fl. I feel for you.

that does look bad, there are very few places that can rechrome wheels because of EPA RULES. try a wheel store see if they can refer you somewhere. I wonder if they can be blasted and polished or painted (gunmetal-black ?)

good luck

Feel bad for you, that looks terrible. Has the manufacturer stood behind the obvious mistake?

Good luck and keep us posted.
