Default Good news/ Bad news

Good news = Ordered New wheels
Bad news = Ordered Chrome Centerlines
Bad news = 3 weeks later, Recieved 4 wheels
Bad news = 1 wheel peeling, sent peeling wheel back
Bad news = 7 weeks later, waiting on 1 wheel

This is the short of a long story. Maybe this thread is in the wrong place but I want people to know about Centerline and thier reoccurring problem with chrome wheels. I found out after buying that I am not the first person that is fighting or has fought with centerline.

Just wondering how many others like me?

Should I be more patient or am I pissed for a good reason?

I would be so fired up it isn't funny but at the same time my wife would be telling me to give them more time so my advice to you is be more patient. I never knew centerline had a problem with there chrome peeling thanks for the heads up.

I have always bought the polished centerlines. Sucks to polish them, but they dont have the clearcoat like most wheels so peeling on them isnt a problem. Hope everything turns out alright. I have never had any problems with centerline.
