Default Warranty on oem wheels

I was wondering if my warranty covers my oem chrome Teleios wheels that are beginning to peel? Any thoughts? Also... At times I would lose air... About 1lb every couple days.. Is this normal. I was told its doing this due to the beading part of my wheels and this happens to chrome wheels a lot?

If the factory wheels are peeling, and they can't attribute it to a previous repair or misuse of chemical cleaners, they will more than likely replace them under warranty.

I just had this issue with the 19" five spoke wheel. I'd take it to the dealer. They will have the regional rep look at the wheels and make a decision.

I have had all four of my old 08 GX wheels and two 08 IS wheels replaced under warranty due to the finish corroding/bubbling so I think they will take care of it.

Take it to the dealer and find out. Most likely it will be worth the trip!

The leak might just be the Tpms sensor washer

I haven't had any leaking or peeling troubles with my Teleios wheels after 3 years, just the usual brake dust accumulation.

Default Chrome Lexus Rims

The wheels carry the same basic warranty as the car, 4 years, 50,000 miles. They are an integral part of the vehicle..
