Mandrus Millenium Wheels?

I have a set of chome Milleniums and after just 10 months, the chrome is flaking off the spokes badly. My dealer is ready to replace all 4, but am I just going to be back with the same problem in another 10 months????? Anyone have experience with Mandrus wheels?

Hey bud.

Sorry to hear what's happened with your rims.

I actually have Mandrus Milleniums too.
But mine have the stainless steel finish on the lips and the spokes are painted.

Perhaps swap yours for ones with a different finish?

But I'd also understand if you are feeling discouraged about exchanging them for the same rims.
