Boy that looks bad. I'd take it straight to your dealer. You haven't been using acidic wheel cleaner have you?

If you have a pic of rcz flaking paint, then show it, not an audi.

Take a pic of your RCZ wheel so we can all see the issue clearly. But as others have said - a trip to the dealer is probably in order.

Help yourself and others by posting a picture of your flaking wheel.

I have the 19" Black Onyx Solstice and they are fine.

They do show up caliper dust but after a quick clean all is good. NOT AN ACID CLEANER.

I also use Iron x to get rid of the tiny metal filings that get inbedded from the brake pads ect.

A pic of the real thing would be nice to see :eusa-think:

I had all 4 wheels replaced under warranty last October (2011) no problems from the dealers but now they are 'bubbling' up again. Wheels in Midnight silver. Going in for a service soon so will ask again, but they must be poorly finished at the factory.
