Rims Peeling

Does anyone know what causes rims to peel? I have Motegi DP6s. I've had them about a year and a half. Is there anyway to stop it or repair them?
Thanks.

caused by cheap paint, road salt, etc. you can have them sanded and repainted or powder coated.

Yep that sounds about right... a year and a half. I have Motegi's too and the clear coat on the polished lip is coming off. Yeah there is no way to stop it other than to repair it. Out of the couple of rims that I have owned, Motegi is the worst.
