Went to the stealer today.....Told me it was due to driving in snow and salt??????Does GM only build their product to be driven in Arizona!!!!!If so why do they install a block heater!!!!!!Service guy took pictures (with cell phone) and said he would call his rep!!!

Dealers do replace those wheels. I have the woman in my Cub Scout Pack that actually designed the wheel who works at Alcoa. She told me that the wheels have a five year unlimited mileage warranty from Alcoa to GM. But you'll have to call Alcoa direct if the dealer gives you any hassles about it.

Good luck. Some dealers are a real pain about this. Others are great.

My dealer wouldn't go anything for me so your saying Alcoa may be able to help? I'm past my 3yr/36K warranty but your saying Alcoa's warranty will cover me? My wheels look horrible :mad:
