Don't know if this has been ever posted (sorry if it has).
Has anyone had their wheels start to corrode, and the finish start rusting off? I have an '06 garage kept, and just noticed that all wheels have some corrosion on them, some worse than others. Any available info regarding a TSB or recall would be helpfull. Thank you. |

I have experienced this with my '04 model. Lexus offered to pay 1/2 price if I buy new set of wheels for $2000 so I would pay $1000 for a set of 4 - mine is out of the 4 yr warranty so they are saying that its a favor that they are paying 50% You can view my post here. http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...mp;#entry366836 |

Nopes, there has been no TSB issued in repect to the wheel Rust. There could be minor issues, I suppose the dealer would solved thru their smart option kept under the sleeves. Where you do not have choice left!

Paint is not covered under the CPO warranty, maybe you can make the repair a pre-purchase condition. |

I am getting my 06 GX 470 rims replaced free of charge by Dealer. It was not easy but I would not take "NO" for an answer. My truck just turned 3 and I have 25,000 miles on it. They will be put on this week. |

Lexus of Atlantic City replaced my rims over the weekend. This wasn't planned but my truck arrived at the Dealership on a flatbed due to a alternator that went bad. So why it was there they said they would replace them. They look great and I'm quite happy. I would not have ever been satisfied with refinishing.
