Default Wheels - Clear Coat

Has anyone experienced the clear coat on the wheels peeling off? I've seen a few posts about blemishes and spider crazing under the clear coat, but nothing of any significance regarding peeling of the clear coat itself. The clear coat on all my wheels is peeling off. My car has never been through a car wash, and I only use mild detergents on the wheels (no wheel cleaner). I've actually waxed the wheels from the backside to the outer side with FMJ several times. I have a theory as to what happened... When I took my car in a few months ago to have the tires replaced, I believe the dealer cleaned the wheels with a wheel cleaner to ensure the balancing weights would adhere to the inside of the wheel. Should I try to get these replaced, or will it just end up happening again? Any help would be most appreciated.
