How many coats did you use? I just did my wheels 2 weeks ago and they've held up perfectly.

I used about 6 on each wheel, it had been quite cold over night despite the morning sun so maybe that was the problem?

Odd, I used about 5 coats and let it dry for 4 hours before putting the tires back on. I've noticed that cold and humidity really affect it during the application phase as well as not getting the rims completely clean before applying.
DEpointfive0 and Cougar like this.
