Wheels covered under Warranty?

Post by Triton »

Does anyone know if the wheels are covered under the warranty? I am talking about the finish on them. My factory wheels are only on in the winter and they are starting to pit really bad. Not just one of them, all of them are starting to show. I keep my car pretty clean, even in the winter I spray it off quite a bit. Anyone else having this issue?

The dealer will probably say that it is from normal wear and tear. I would give it a try though.

Mine still look new but I would certainly bring it up to the dlr provided it is under warranty and your tires are still original tires. If you have had your tires replaced before then the dlr will most likely blame it on the tire store for damaging them, which can happen.

They are still the original tires and it has to be from the salt. I will have to check and see if there is a TSB. Do you have a number for the TSB Rob?If I don't get any results from the dealer, I'll check with Jeff Strauser at the big Rally.
