Default Question for wheel knock off owners

I washed my car for the big meat this weekend. So I hose the wheel with strong current water and paint chips off.

Has this ever happened to you?



I dont expect the paint to be of good quality considering i got the wheels for $450.

I don't know if it had anything to do with the overexposure to Eagle One All Wheel and Tire cleaner. I usually let it sit for 30 seconds then i start wiping the wheels with sponge.

Thanks in advance

Tenzo

It's all good. I didn't expect much from Tenzo anyway. I mean sooner or later my **** will fade and it'll eventually become Tenzo Sinko Flat black. Besides where I live, you dont want the real deal. I can't afford another beater so this beater is it.

I've seen wheels lose a chunk of clearcoat with a powerwasher, but never just a regular hose.

I would contact tenzo and see what they can do worst case touch up paint or paint the whole wheel silver or whatever you like.

Well i was using one of those adjustable nozzles and set the stream to thin and concentrated on that one spot i thought was gunk. Seconds later it came it off.

THat sucks man.

I totally rock knock-offs but it looks like this time the knock-offs lose a battle.

Soap and water next time.

I had the exact wheels in gunmetal and it never did anything like that. And I used the Eagle One and a few other products several times. Someone did something wrong before you those?

Also, I didn't think the Tenzo's came in that color scheme, only Rota's. So they might have been painted before you got them.
