not too sure what would cause that

i dunno what to suggest other then to sand them down and respray them properly, or get them powdercoated

I will get slated for this but dont sand the oem paint off to do them, Mask them up, add some primer or filler and respray them and they will look like new again.

Looks to me like graville stone chips?

Shame you dont live closer as I would happily repair them for you.

As above.. How many locking wheel nuts do you want?

Stone chips, all depending what tyres you have tbh, get caught and then flick them up into the wheels.

Haha I know least no twats are going to get them off and they are called tuner bolts as standard bolts wouldnt fit as I needed a smaller diameter in other words to gain more money :-D
