04 Rims clear coat lifting

My C5 (04) inside of rims clear coat is lifting and peeling off. Anyone with this problem?
Did go to dealer with this problem "no help". Claims that a bulliten was issued stating that you can't use harsh cleaning chemicals when cleaning rims. (Whats harsh?) and rims must be completely dry from all chemicals after cleaning. Bulliten states chemical and water lay on bottom of rim could lift clear coat. Dealer stated he couldn't help and the next step was to call the GM rep to inspect. "You all know what the rep will say". Same as the dealer (did you get that bulliten".............

RE: 04 Rims clear coat lifting

They is typical GM wheels. They blame it on wheel cleaners but infact it is just crappy clear. I had the same thing happen with my 94 GMC Sonoma. You could strip the clear and have them recleared.
