    yea im a little nervous about the peeling chrome.. but i wash my VX so much i think i will probably be OK and on the inner surface im just going to use some thin weight oil to bead the tires, not soapy water like most, that should keep the moisture inside the tire to a minimum to help with the peeling

    I kept it washed rinsed etc but snow build up salt rainy days and mondays etc they started peeling I bought additional rims when I needed them and they were available. I finally got tired of it and when I saw the tirerack special I ordered 5 and sold my good rims to several members and the caps etc from the bad wheels as well. I was able to earn enough the sale of I think 9 rims to pay for the new low cost non chrome wheels
