Hmmm. Maybe that's why British Wire Wheel strongly suggests using a
lead hammer on knock-offs. I hope the set I bought from them is of
better quality than the set you got from TRF. My old ones have been
pounded to death with a brass hammer and I've never had any chrome peal
off. But they are pretty beat up as a result.

P.S. I noticed the same thing about the quality of remanufactured
items I bought from Moss and a couple of other suppliers
recently.
