I am asked for a exception warranty review since the wheel are not covered by the corrosion warranty. Lexus has offered to provide new replace wheels at 50% of cost. I think I will accept the offer.

Here is a great site to calculate your tire plus and negative sizing. Enter your current size and the target tire size. The calculator will let you know the speedometer affect. http://www.miata.net...e/tirecalc.html

I have looked back through other complaints with similar problems over the past few years. I have seen no closure from a Lexus service representative posted. My GS300 (2006) also has corrosion between the substrate and the top coat appearing in the form of "bubbles." My wheel are not chrome, they are painted/coated silver; I am not sure of the process, paint or epoxy. It seems like a common problem not associated with the region the vehicle is located. The wheel supplier may have a cleaning issue prior to the coating process, a substrate/material issue, or a coating process issue. I hope to provide Lexus with enough information so that the concern may be noted on the supplier concern board and address during their asaichi meetings; so that this issue can be addressed for future models as an SE manual launch review issue. If there is a Lexus warranty engineering team member reviewing this site, please review the attached photos. I would love to provide the actual wheels for analysis with the supplier.
