20 In Chrome Factory Wheels

got an 07 classic limited edition.has the 5 spoke chrome wheels that are not holding up well in new england. 2 wheels are good 2 wheels are pitting and some of the chrome is starting to peel off. wash it every week and apply eagle metal polish once a month. anyone else with this problem? i hope gm plans on replacing them under warranty.

That should be able to be replaced under warranty. I wouldnt see why not. They should be shining with it that new, now I could see if was your 2002 vehicle, then they definately would not make good for it, but they should take care of that for you.

Could you post some pics?

Maybe they can get a nice set of 28" ones for you .

 

I have seen chrome on aftermaket chromed wheels, like Cragar wheels, peel early, which means a lousy chrome job. They should replace your wheels no questions asked. Do not expect the new ones to be better though. If I were you, I would trade for a good set of aluminum alloy non-chromed wheels.

They should warranty them. I can understand a little pitting in harsh winter conditions but they certainly should not peel. Peeling is from inferior chrome plating. Let us know what happens.

GM has had this problem before. I had this happen to two model year 2002 F-body vehicles. The chrome just started to flake off, and these were genuine GM wheels. I was hoping they had fixed this by now.
