Hello everyone! Over the past week or so I’ve driven my car 3 times and the paint on my satin black wheels (LE) have been chipping and it’s really annoying. I wish BMW/Toyota would use better quality wheel paint. Has anyone else had this issue? Thank you

That’s a real shame.
Unfortunately I’m not sure warranty will cover it, but if the paint is soft and you can scratch it with your nail, that would indicate improper curing.

If that’s the case you might have luck.

If your not driving on bad roads or rock paved roads - i don't see how that could happen. Did you get the tire and wheel protection?

In either event - I would inform the dealer. If they wont help - Contact Toyota directly. We have had some paint flaws in the past even well after warranty expiration and were able to work with the manufacturer directly who approved it for repair with the dealer.

I don't know all about roads in Naples, FL, but here in Michigan roads are extra crappy, lots of loose rocks, broken gravel, etc. on the highways and well on all roads. I do have a smaller chip on one wheel as well. It appeared early on. No newer ones since. I'm at ~800 miles. Wish there was PPF equivalent for tires :)

Did you get "tire and wheel protection"?

I did not get the Wheels and tire warranty. The roads in Naples are perfect in my books, I am originally from Wisconsin where the roads are awful.

Yes, these wheels scratch/chip really easily. I have noticed that when I remove the lugs, I have to be extremely careful taking them out of the lug holes in the wheels, or else they scratch the paint. Pretty silly problem to have, but I guess is part of the sensitivity to a matte finish.
