Is it normal for the clearcoat on these wheels to peel?
I picked a set with great rubber and 2 of them are peeling quite significantly. I got the 4 wheels with 5 60-70% tread tires for $200.

I am thinking of painting them either black or silver unless there is a way to solve the peeling issue.

I will post up some pictures iin the morning of the wheels in question.
They are going on my '94 Burb:

I had an '03 with that wheel and they had peeling issues too. I traded it before I did anything about it. Go Black.
 
There is a post here somewhere where a member used paint stripper to remove teh clear coat, lightly sanded them, and then recleared em. Came out pretty good IIRC.
 
I was looking at the pic you posted of the steel wheels...

I'd just strip them then polish them...you could re clear them, but if you don't mind using mothers wheel polish, you could just maintain it with that...
 
Heck, Those are PYOs. There are threads about them. Do a search in the Steering, Suspension, and Wheels forum for 'PYO' and do some reading about what's been done.
