Default Chrome is peeling

The freaking chrome is peeling off of my new stinking rims!

I've only had them for a week! It started the day after i got them. I was washing in between the spokes and when i took the rag out, it was covered with chrome chips. I looked around and couldn't see where the chrome was coming from so i didn't think much about it. The next time i washed them, the same thing happened, and this time i found the problem. I called Eagle Alloy and they said i'm SOL because they will only warranty it if the chrome is peeling off of the face of the rim! WTF! I can run my hand over the spots and the chrome just falls off.
