Any one else out there having any problems with minor pitting on the factory chrome wheels ?? I have two ( so far ) that have marks on them. The dealership said that they will replace them, but I should wait a bit longer to see if it happens to all four.

What exactly is pitting?

I had all 4 chrome rims replaced on my turbo due to the chrome "bubbling". It was only happening on 3 of them but the dealer just gave me a new set. His reasoning was if 3 of them did it, it was only a matter of time before the 4th started bubbling.

I don't know if you mean the same thing by "pitting". My rims had small "bubbles" that were raised off the surface. Like something had gotten underneath the chrome. They seemed to be filled as they didn't flatten when you pressed on them.

What I noticed on mine looked like small dark craters of sort. They are actually like a small divot . There really wasn't a bubble of any kind, just the pit mark. Good Luck !
