Ok I have already read extensive threads on what happens after 4 years, or 50k but the thing is I had purchased their wheel and tire coverage on my 08 lexus is250. does anyone know what that covers. The only thing I remember is that if I were to hit a curve they would cover that, so I figure bubbling of the wheel should be as well. Plus I sent the dealer a very flamed email about how pissed I was they broke my windshield and I had to paid the mechanic to do an oil change still, and now the bubbling of all four wheels. The sales rep said he is going to try talking w/ service and having all 4 replaced brand new.

 

"Wheel and tire" coverage? Was this from the Lexus dealership? Did you purchase it brand new or CPO?

 

Can you describe the bubbling more? Is it the paint? Front only or rear?

 

Bubbling of wheels as in the clearcoat/finish on the wheels is bubbling? Post up some pics so we can see

 

Should be covered i would say. Mine happen after the first season of winter. These wheel are cheaply coated. Had them redo it once and again a year later same thing. Even my 10 yr old ITR rim i had didnt have these issues hahaha...There answer to my issue was clean the break dust LoL. I told them i'll bring it in everytime for them to get on their knees and clean it for me.

 

Is this what you're talking about? I have this on almost all spokes for the 4 wheels..





If so, you're not the first. I believe it's the road salt that's killing the wheel's paint.. My stock 17's went through one winter and resulted with this.. I ended just selling these set of wheels and replacing with 2011 stock 17's. The coating on the new wheels are a lot better and it went through 1 winter already without any issues at all..
