Does anyone else have the problem with the finish popping off or kind of peeling on wheels? mainly in center around lugs and center cap, has anyone tried sanding and re-polishing or any sugggestions without spending money on new wheels? Sorry posted in wrong section..my bad

I have the same car, and it's been here in Houston 1 year & 3 months. Our climate is pretty harsh, at least to rubber.

What are you using to clean them ? I use the 50 cent carwashes' soap spray (NOT their wheel cleaner) and rub off the dust with a terrycloth washcloth. Then I squirt 'em with the carwashes' "wax", and rinse them with the "spot free rinse" water.

I may end up with your problem in the future, so I'll be interested in what others say.

My wheels still look brand new. I use wheel cleaner to clean them off. I'm not sure what could be causing the problem, but it's a good idea to wipe the brake dust off every week. If I'm washing my car in addition to cleaning the wheels, I will first spray the wheels with the wheel cleaner and let is soak in for a little while. Then I spray off the wheel cleaner and wash them with soap and water. The wheel cleaner does no damage to the wheels, but I wouldn't recommend using it in the sun or letting the stuff dry on the wheels.
