I've got an 05 TRD Sport with the 17" aluminum wheels and they look good ... no signs of the clear coat giving out or pitting, etc. Demoncleaner -- sounds like yours have not seen any winter driving, so it's puzzling that they would be going bad. Here in Seattle we don't get much snow, but it's mostly just rain but my rims still look like new.
Sounds like some of these rims might have had some kind of flaw or defect during manufacturing. I'm wondering if the method they are cleaned might be some of the cause?
