Type S Wheel Paint Peeling

I bought type s wheels from the dealer about 6 months ago. I noticed this morning that one of my front wheels has starting chipping/peeling the paint. Has anyone else run into this? I will take some pictures as soon as i can but its a real bummer. Should this be covered by Acura?

I'd take it in, perhaps they will replace it.

I have the same issue with my '04 stockies. Looks like the clear coat or something is peeling.

Yup having this issue on my set of stockies too. But I don't care since I'm going to abuse them in harsh Chicago winter
