From the looks of your part, your amps are too high, or the anodes are too close to the wheel. It also looks like some places possibly weren't zincated completely.

Waterbreak should be done after degreasing - before you plate.

That is definately way too much voltage and therefore way too much current. Flash copper runs around 2Vdc in ideal conditions. Unless the wheel kit flash copper is different to the normal flash copper. Also Flash copper runs at a higher temp.
