Wheels

[paticus]

I think people are saying those are pretty minor. These massive trucks are very difficult to keep perfect on every part of the vehicle.
 

If you had an agreement with the dealership for new rims, that’s a different story. 
 

I don’t know if this can be treated the same as paint, but have you tried to polish them out?

I am with you I wouldn’t accept the truck. Not sure why they don’t just swap the wheels onto another truck or have them repaired so you can buy it.

That's damaged? I was expecting nicks, chips or something else not caused by a something rubber brushing up against it. I wouldn't even think twice about that as I will get a ton more wear and tear just using it as a truck. Sounds like you needed to spend a little more as 65k wasn't enough to guarantee a "damaged" free wheel. Might want to see if they will give you a new truck or lemon law it, that might solve it?

I’m not real sure why people have to be such ass hats! If I spent 65k on a truck and it had a defect before I left the lot I’d want it fixed too. I guess people like Tyler here don’t have any pride in ownership. I’d hate to see what shape his vehicles are in.

Your dealer should have a wheel repair guy on speed dial. I had 3/4 wheels scratched up pretty bad from a tire balance at the dealer and they called their guy, and they were fixed. He came out with some air tools and poilishing pads and had some deep scratches out in about 30 mins. Should be on dealers dime but worst case would cost you $50 to make your problem go away.

If you don’t trust that, you can do it yourself. I scratched one of the wheels on my nova pretty good and bought some meguiars compound and some cutting pads off of amazon and had it out in not too long. This scratch you could feel with your fingernail too so it was fairly deep.

I 100% agree with you it shouldn’t have come like that and this is out of principle but the amount of time you’ve spent fighting with the dealer, it could have been taken care of already.

I agree. People shouldn't speak if there just gunna have useless comments. People come on here for information. Not to be judged by someone far away typing through there phone cause they have nothing better to do.

I am not sure if you noticed, but half of these threads are of useless comments. 
 

I’ll provide some insight so this is not deemed useless, it’s an aluminum wheel? If it’s painted or aluminum, run your fingernail across it and see if you can feel anything. The main area of “damage” seems to be the clear coat cracked and is manufacturer defect if so. There is also a noticeable light scratch that I would have just polished out. 
 

Now, I don’t think Tyler does not take care of his vehicles, he may very well not either. Just more of a realist.. I agree to a certain extent, why run to the forums to ask questions about a brand new truck? We all have that “what I would/should/could do” and “I would not/should not” useless comments. I do think paying 10k+ for a new vehicle no matter the end cost, you should get a new vehicle. Things slip, scratches/dents happen.. I work across the street from 2 body shops that I see new vehicles from dealerships all the time. How many times are those disclosed? They can fix it and the buyer would never know. 
 

It is a scratch.. the OPs fault was leaving the lot knowing full well it was there and taking the dealerships word. I wouldn’t be on the forums asking questions that I can be asking the dealership. Just my useless comment..

I agree with you. I said it above he shouldn't have left the lot and I should have been more clear. I wasn't talking about Tyler's comment.

I meant "It's Tim" comment where he said

"Really surprised no one has suggested a psych evaluation. [emoji23]"

Dumb stuff like that is just useless to the forum. Or anywhere.

Ah... we are in agreement,  

[KARNUT]

I’ve bought new trucks with scratches and scuffed wheels. Id get a discount and resolve the problem myself. I’ve never met a salesman that wouldn’t lie to get you in a vehicle. That’s a given.

Thanks all for the useful comments. The others driving junk must not appreciate nice things. Anyway, the dealer is taking care of having the defects wheels polished out. They originally said that the wheels were clear coated and couldn’t be polished without refinishing the wheel. However I guess that’s not the case. It goes this week to get fixed.

Good deal they are trying to take care of you, I wouldn't want preexisting scratches on my new truck, that's my job.....
