Plating is warranted for one year. Reading the warranty, the selling dealer has to get involved. You must return the wheels to your dealer on your dime and the replacements will be shipped to your dealer. There is no contact info on the site, it only says to contact your dealer.
Edit: It appears that Moto Metal is the same company, and their site has contact info.

Guess what, one of my Helo wheels just started peel like the one in your pictires. I bought the wheels mid to late September. I took them off after the first snow and washed them real good and put them in the garage. I just put them back on 2 weeks ago and then it snowed again. I put a fresh coat of next on them before the snow and washed them about 3 days after it snowed. This is rediculous to only have about 3k miles on the wheels and they start to peel. I have not used any chemicals at all to wash the wheels, just goldclass soap that I use when I wash the truck.
Did you ever get anything resolved? I bought mine through discount tire so hopfully they will take care of this for me. I will NOT pay a penny for an replacement if they try that crap. I'll probably give it another month or two just to see if any of the other start to do this. If they do I'm going to try and get them all replaced with another brand of wheel.
I just remembered that I have taken the truck to a car wash the other day cause it was too cold to do it myself. But this should not cause the chrome to peel like this and if it does these are poor quality wheels.

In all honesty is sounds like Helo had a bad batch of wheels. I had the Helo Maxx 6s on my 2004 F150 with about 15,000 miles if not more. A lot of those miles were being abused offroad none the less and I never had a lick of problem from them. Balanced good, no sign of pitting or peeling, still shined up great. I'm reasonably confident that Discount Tire will take care of it for you.
