RBP rim problems
Is there anyone else having issues with their chrome RBP rims corroding and pitting? I saved up my deployment money from my last trip to Iraq and bought what I thought was a great set of high dollar rims. I received these in September of 2009 and have only put about 3,000 miles on them as was deployed again for a short trip back to Iraq. I live in Tennessee so constant salt on the roads is not really an issue. I have only washed my wheels at the local carwash using soap with the brush and then rinse cycle. One rim is not too bad but the other 3 look like the front bumper on a 55 Chevy (because Fords don’t rust right?). The rest of my factory Ford chrome looks great even the chrome steps right behind the tires so I am scratching my head. I am guessing that the problem is the chrome is just too thin. So if you have chrome RPB rims go clean them off and let me know if it’s just me and my rims that were made on Friday at 5 o’clock. I feel like I paid top dollar for cheep crap.

Probably some cheep overseas plating. You could complain to the co. but even if they replace them, thats as good as they get. A friend of mine bought a new set of crome spokes, I can't remember the mfgr but they were rusting in 3 months.
