Pro Comp 7098 Black Wheels - Chipping, Peeling Problems

Anyone out there experiencing peeling or chipping of the black coating on their Pro Comp wheels? I have a set of 7098s that I bought last July, so they are only 8 months old, and many of the "bolt heads" around the rim of the wheel are "peeled" down to chrome, and one of the center caps is almost completely peeled down to naked metal.

No off road abuse, just road and winter. What gives?

Hi, thinking about getting these tires, are you still experiencing problems with them? They come with a 2 year paint warranty, have you tried exploring that route?

Should I stay away from this company?
 
DannyLlama - ProComp's customer service has been great, and they've sent me two sets of replacement screws, and a set of replacement center caps. I've replaced the screws all around (removed carefully, cleaned the holes with acetone, carefully threaded the replacements, used thread locker, and have been having better luck with the later sets, although some are still chipping/peeling. I will keep requesting replacements as long as they keep chipping, and as long as ProComp keeps sending them to me. I haven't put the new center caps on yet, but I will soon, since all four look awful, having chipped and peeled almost entirely to bare metal. I repeat, ProComp customer service has been great, and if they can get their act together with the black coating/paint on this model wheel, then I'd be a fan for life. Let's see how it goes when I'm calling for more screws and caps two more years from now... If I were to do it all over again with hindsight, I'd pick a different model wheel (still all black) without the little screw heads, so there would be nothing to have chip or peel. I hope that helps your decision.
 
I have had these on my truck for 5+ years without any chips or paint coming off the wheels. The center caps have had very minor peeling, but nothing a quick Flat black spray couldn't take care of.
