    Peeling on all four TRD wheel caps...

    Opinions of what could cause this and how do you get these caps off?

    Do you pressure wash your truck and if so how much psi?

    these are cheap to replace at least

    No pressure washer, it's just peeling on the outside ring. Where do you order the caps from?

    You can see where it's "rubbed" in the first pic. That isn't just paint peeling off or a defect.

    The rim pokes out further than the center cap and they have zero scratches. All of them are peeling, how would I rub all four?

    I'm not sure, but if you look where the paint is removed, there is significant scuffing and marks. Your lugs are scuffed too.

    Something is rubbing them, it's not just paint falling off.

    Automatic Car wash? May be time to change your reply in that thread. ;)

    Have you gone through a carwash yet?

    All four of them are like that and the rim pokes out further than the center caps, I have no clue what's going on with them.

    They just pop right out. Take the wheel off and pop them out from the inside. You could also use a pick to pull them off from the outside but will probably scratch the wheel in the process.

    My lug nuts are just dirty, they aren't scratched at all.

    I'm going to the carwash to investigate. I just don't understand what would even rub them, nothing grabs the tire or rim.

    Forgot to update you on this. They chipped and peeled from my brakes getting to hot. It was caused by using the ACC on a two hour road trip and apparently it uses the brakes too much.
