99-00 Wheel Fading

Hey anybody else starting to notice the wear on the wheels on the outer lip of their wheels? I was cleaning the wheels the othet day and noticed that they were fading/chipping away. What gives? Has Ford/SVT done anything about this?

Why are you surprised that 4 year old painted wheels show some wear and tear?

Ford won't do anything.

Yes I am suprised. With only 16k on my vehicle I'd expect better. No warranty though now unfortunatley. Mines a 00 BTW.

Looks like Ford DID something for Clonetek. Props to you.
