Default help! chrome plating is peeling off :(

Hello,

I have a 2000 G3 Platinum with original chrome rims. The chrome plating is starting to peel of. I like my stock rims. Is there a place i can go to get it replated?

Thanks. BTW, I live in San jose.

I would think that that was covered by the warranty.

I brought my car as CPO. its still under warranty. I didn't know this kind of thing is covered under the warranty.

Thanks for your help.

If i get my wheels rechromed (Assuming that warranty does not cover this), i long would it take?

As long as there is no physical damage to the wheel ie curbing, I am prettye sure they will cover it as a manufacture defect. The chrome shouldnt just peel off.


Another option is to get a replacement wheel, do a google serhc on OEM wheel

here is one place that has them for 338.00 this may be cheaper than rechroming, I dont know what it costs.

Thanks Morris.
I was about to call wheel techque and see how much it is. Too bad the link you sent me does not contain my wheels.



But again, thanks for your comments everyone!

Yup, i just did this morning. I emailed the service person at Lexus of Fremont. She told me that "we'll see" - she is checking on it for me.

I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Thanks for the support!
