Three out of four of the chrome wheels on my Ford Explorer are defective and peeling. One is peeling so badly that it is unable to maintain a tire seal and is unsafe. Ford will not replace them and the Ford dealer is quoting me $805 per wheel for a total of $3200 to replace them. Has any one else had this happen?
