MHT Forged wheels have bubbling chrome? Anyone else have problems with them?

Hey guys,

I couldnt find a section for wheels and tires so I guess I will post it here. Just looking for some info or experiences from you guys. I have a set of 6 month old MHT Tuscan Forged 3-piece chrome wheels that I bought for my 1970 GMC truck that I am working on. I ran them on my other chevy truck this past summer from aprox July when I got them, to November when the truck came off the road for the winter. It was never driven in the snow. I just went to take them off my chevy truck and I notice that ALL the chrome is bubbling off both the hoops (all the way around) and the centers of all four wheels!!!

I called MHT and they said they dont warranty peeling or bubbling of chrome??? What the heck? These are EXPENSIVE forged wheels and they are 5-6 months old with 4 months of road time. Im in canada and they cost about $6000, and now they are garbage. I have never seen quality chrome plating do this. This is a sign of POOR chrome application. I have a set of CHEAP boss chrome wheels on my grand cherokee that have been driving in the winter and salt covered roads for 5 years and they arnt peeling or bubbling or anything.

Anyone else have issues with MHT chrome wheels? I really dont know what to do here if they wont warranty them.... Can anyone offer any suggestions? What would it cost to rechrome them?



Cheers
Lonnie
