Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 2003 RAM 1500 HEMI WITH 20" CHROME WHEELS. AT ABOUT 11,000 MILES I NOTICED THE CHROME HAD SOME SMALL DELAMINATION BUBBLES. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE WHEEL. I NOW HAVE 34,000 MILES AND NOTICED THAT ALL THE WHEELS HAVE LITTLE BUBBLES OF DELAMINATION IN THE CHROME. THEY ARE REPLACING ALL THE WHEELS ONLY BECAUSE I CAUGHT IT BEFORE I REACHED THE 36,000 MILE MARK. MAKE SURE TO CHECK YOUR 20" CHROME WHEELS. THEY ARE A CHROME PLATED PLASTIC INSERT ON AN ALUMINUM WHEEL AND THE CHROME TENDS TO DELAMINATE FROM THE PLASTIC AS THEY AGE. *JB
