Rear wheel peeling........

fighterinsnat · 03-22-2011, 05:53 PM

Had the wheel put on today. No charge covered under warranty. They told me it was $1000 for that one wheel!

Thank god.

Typical ripoff price. They're about 700 at courtesyparts.com

I discovered I have exactly the same problem..and I bought mine new and always used ordinary car soap on it.. I am seeing the dealer tomorrow... I am a bit nervous in that another poster said Nissan blamed him for using harsh cleaners.. and he denies that as to I.. we shall see!!

Will my bumper to bumper warranty cover this?

Mine looked exactly like this and i brought it to the dealer today.. he looked at all the wheels and none other was like this..which i realize was a good sign that I had not used harsh abrasives.. and on the spot he agreed to replace the bad one

ur lucky your wheels didnt have curb marks because i can see them using that as an excuse. Either-way, great job.

Also incase others arent as lucky, if your wheels simply show paint/cosmetic damage, a wheel shop usually charges $50-$100 per wheel to refinish them like new... so a new wheel isnt needed unless its damaged structure wise.

glad Nissan covered it. I had a tear on my door panel on the very top and i know it was caused by the window tint guy but played stupid when i went to nissan and they covered it under warranty as defect....BEST PART, I kept the $450 the shop issued me to cover damage
