If your warrant isn't up yet I hurry up and take it in. Some dealers will refinish and other will just opt to buy you new ones.

Nice, my wheels look the exact same. I'm going to go in and get this done ASAP along with my dash making a cracking sound like someone is twisting a plastic bottle.

It happened twice to my chrome wheels. First one I got all 4 of them peeled and rushed. They replaced with the new ones. A month later, I brought it back because the front wheels began peeling again. Fortunately, everything is covered by warranty

My Wheels are like that too. I think its just crappy paint because my acura wheels were the same year 06' and they never had bubbles. I see this alot on IS250s. I plan to get mines painted the same color as the IS-F 19s soon so i really dont care to much about it.

I know this was an old thread that got bumped but damnnn son. You had an 06 with just over 5,000 miles in 2010? loowwwwwww mileage. I guess it makes sense since you live in Hawaii lol

This is happening to my car now! Does anyone know if the extended Warentee offered by Lexus will cover this? I'm at about 59K?

Default Same problem with GX470

Have the same problem, GX470 - if brake dust sits too long, it will eat the coat of paint. Remember: not real aluminum rims.
