Clear coat peeling on 681M CF wheels
I'm seeing clear coat peeling on all 4 of my CF wheels - see attached image. One wheel shows peeling over around one third of the wheel circumference. The other wheels are showing peeling over less than one tenth of the wheel circumference. I haven't had a chance to inspect the inner portion of the wheel - there may well be peeling there, too.
I know that this was not present when I picked up the car a year ago - at that time, all wheels looked pristine. I'm still on the original set of tires -- no other work has been done on the wheels/tires over the past year. Anyone else encountering the same problem? I've reached out to my dealer already. For those with CF manufacturing/engineering experience, is this a structural/mechanical concern? I would be a lot less worried if it is just cosmetic. I'm wondering if anyone has ideas on how to get this resolved. Thanks in advance. |

Definitely not curb rash - can't feel any depth at the spots showing defects. I've been the only driver of the car and never got close to curbing the wheel. Also, it would be hard to curb the driver's side wheels (in the US) - I guess it would be possible on a one-way street.

Clearcoat separating from carbon
Has anybody found a way to repair the clear coat on the 681M's? The clear coat is separating from the carbon on all four of my 681M's. It's not curb rash -- it starts from the right angle on the barrel just behind the spokes and grows from there. I tried 2 wheel repair shops and a carbon repair shop and nobody seems to want to work on these here in Vancouver Canada.
