Wheel corrosion

[dbacf]

My 06 OEM wheels are all showing signs of corrosion on the inside edge. It is happening with all 4 wheels around the same area in various degrees, although 1 wheel has more corrosion than the others.

Truck is garaged and pampered.

Has anyone else experienced wheel surface problems or signs of peeling paint on them?

Do a search here.....lots of people have had the same problem, myself included. Of course nobody at Lexus will ever admit that it's common.

Some have had luck with getting them replaced under warranty while others have not. I didn't even try, and bought some 4Runner wheels off e-bay.

my 06 had wheel corrosion also - i took it into dealer while under warranty and they replaced all four under warranty

No doubt one reason for the corrosion is all the road treating stuff they throw on the roadways in the winter in your states to help melt the snow and ice.

But still, there is no excuse for it.

Good luck. Keep us posted on how your dealer handles the situation. Seems like each one treats the situation completely differently.

Get on the phone now with your dealership and start the ball rolling. This will not be something that will get resolved overnight. I had to fight for them to replace the rims. I also went through 3 dealerships. It took me about a month for them to give me the answer I wanted.

Mine were replaced because I refused to take No for an answer and told them I was going to be their worse nightmare because I wasn't going to go away.

This site is top notch when it comes to any questions you need answered and they will take the time to help when ever they can.

OK I just saw where your are from. Stay away from Lexus of Cherry Hill all they want to do is tell you that it's your fault for letting the brake dust sit on them. He did not like my answer to that one.

Try Lexus of Atlantic City. There is a rep there named Chuck he's very fair and knows about the problem.

Good Luck,
