1. Take caps off
2. Walds have a regular clear coat, wheels take a lot of abuse so it's not uncommon for this to happen. My Dutchlets were peeling everywhere when I got them. Get them refinished in a powdercoat clear coat and it will last much longer.

how about stripping the clear coat and just having a polish finish ?
