Canada My stock chevy 18" rims are starting to flake!!!

Anyone else have this problem?
It seems the paint on my chevy rims is bubling and chipping off! I have winter rims and tires so I know its not salt related. even if it was salt related, Ive had the car only six months!

I'm also noticing stone chips in the paint! small but noticeable!

i was referring to that

the flaking isn't normal, should be covered under warranty though.

My rims started flaking within months of having the car..there was no other SS in the town i live in..so i was having a really hard time getting them to warranty the rims..they were trying to say that it was from me driving in the winter and all the sand and gravel on the road..anyways the dealership finally took my car in this morning sending the rims back to manufacture!
