Consumer Description

CHROME PLATING IS FLAKING OFF, AND TIRES CONSISTENTLY LOSE AIR PRESSURE. I CONTACTED RAY PRICE FORD IN STROUDSBURG, PA AND THEY SAID THIS SOMETIMES HAPPENS, BUT NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE. I CONTACTED MY TIRE PERSON AND HE TRIED TO BRUSH OFF THE EXCESS CHROME AROUND SEAL TO GET A BEAD, BUT NO LUCK. A NEW WHEEL IS AROUND $400, SO I GOT A USED ONE. SIMILAR ISSUES, BUT NOT AS FREQUENT. HOWEVER, OTHER WHEELS ARE BEGINNING TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE (LOSING AIR PRESSURE). A SET OF NEW WHEELS WOULD BE OVER $1500, WHICH IS NOT A VIABLE OPTION. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH A 'HIGH QUALITY' MANUFACTURER (LINCOLN). *JS
