Chrome rims

For us northern folks. Watch your rims around valve stem. Found heavy corrosion around the air valve. Getting new rims under warranty. If corrosion gets too bad could loose air.

As many might think and as you are proof of it, chrome is not an impervious finish/coating. Chromed steel will rust over time as did yours around the valve stems.
