Stock rims chipping
Hey guys, I have a question about the 6 year/ unlimited miles rust warranty. My stock rims looks to be peeling away and rusting. It's starting from the inside so it's not like they can accuse me of damaging them from hitting the curb. Any idea whether they will repair it under warranty? Thanks!

I'm also experiencing this issue. I have a feeling though that its not covered since its not actually apart of the body... kind of like your brake calipers or exhaust rusting.

I wasn't able to do so at the Lexus dealership in Watertown, MA. The rims on my girlfriend's car are peeling, but the dealer said that since the car was out of basic warranty, it would not cover. However, I had another guy tell me that he was able to do so without a warranty too at another dealer - so I guess it's a matter of luck and persuasion

Thanks for the reply guys. I decided to call up Lexus customer service and explain my situation to them. An appointment was made and an electronic letter was sent to my dealership. They will be checking it out next week. The lady was very polite about the situation even though my warranty expired 4 months ago. She took it into consideration that I only had 37k miles on the car. We'll see how everything goes when I take her in. I'm also getting the latest recall done. I'll be back to update everyone.
