Stock rims rusting?

Stock rims rusting?
I noticed while washing my car this past weekend that the rims are rusting from the inside out. This is happening on all 4 rims.
Is anyone else having this issue?
Anyone know if this is replaceable under warranty?

This is funny... When my wife and I were shopping for CPO GX's, every truck had corroded wheels. We actually purchased the two models which didn't have the defects which you see pictured up above. I find it entertaining that every dealer in the DC area is selling CPO GX's with corroded wheels...

Perhaps you can do a deal with someone in this forum? Assuming this someone having warranty without the issue but willing to trade rims with you.

rims bubbling
I bought a 2004 gx last october with 36000 miles on it and all four rims were bubbling just like the above pic. The service tech said he had never seen them do that before. He thought it should be covered under warranty. Then head honcho service manager said no. It was due to someone cleaning the wheels with impropperly mixed wheel acid. It sounded like b/s to me. Any input? And can you call lexus corp. directly to remidy this type of thing.

Corrosion Warranty on GX is 72months/unlimited mileage (see warranty book). It should be covered, right? how about the non CPOs under 72 months, can they still argue they can get replacements thru warranty?
