Paint/Clear Coat Coming Off Wheels

buy some rims. Stock rims are nice but theres alot of aftermarket ones that would stand out nice

Yeah, but to get the same strength as the factory wheels, it's going to be a pretty penny. Plus, I like the look of the sport 18s. They're quite nice for a factory wheel. I just wish the paint wasn't flaking off.

In my experiences aftermarket wheels are more likely to suffer premature paint/ clear coat flaking.

Yep, they're not made to factory specs, that's for sure.

I bought my car used from Nissan/Kia dealership in NY. I don't know if they'll do anything, worse when Suzuki is no longer selling cars in the US.

Call up a Suzuki dealership. If you're still under warranty, they can start the claim process with some pictures.

I noticed horrible orange peel in the refinished wheels when putting them on this weekend. I don't remember the stock ones being this bad, but I did notice some in the first pictures in this thread.

Anyone else have theirs refinished and have any orange peel in them?

If they replace them with a new set, they'll be flawless. If they let LKQ/Keystone refinish them, they'll be nice, but definitely not perfect.
