It took them 2.5 months to approve paint repairs on my brand new 22. I say "them" because I have no idea who exactly dropped the ball... I figure it was actually both my local service department, and Ford.

I have the Fake chrome XLT 18” wheels.
2 years after purchase all 4 of my wheels started to flake around the rims. 16k miles.

all 4 were swapped by dealer.

January 6th my truck will be 4 years old from purchase date.
3 out of my 4 are starting to flake. I have 34k miles on my truck now.

those wheels suck.
