Chromed Wheels from OEM

[tedcmiller]

Besides air leaks and other minor problems, questionable chrome can be an issue. My chromed OEM 2005 CTS-V wheels looked great initially, but after about 30K miles, two of the wheels have developed flaking chrome. The Vogue manager who provided the wheels would rechrome the failing wheels at no cost to me, but he cannot find chrome OEM wheels to exchange with my failing wheels (small numbers, six lugs, etc.) The alternative is to send my failing chrome wheels back for rechroming and then put them back on my car after they are rechromed (two tire removal and reinstall cycles). I have decided not to pursue this and will wait for the 2009 CTS-V.

MauiV,
I had a slow leak in my RT Rear. Not chrome wheels. The dealer changed out the grommett and that has seemed to work.

I did some soap and water on the wheels and could hear the hiss come from the stem area. I would move the stem and it would stop and start.

If you are still having trouble check the grommett. There is a # on the invoice, 25754190, not sure if that is the part # or not.

Good luck.

Thanks, ill write it down for my next visit.

Reminds me of the other day (like 3 weeks ago) I stopped into a dealer I have never been to to reset my TPMs after I rotated the tires when I installed my cross drilled rotors. They get the numbers blah blah blah and he says "Its gonna be $30". I said are you f'in kiddin me? and figured I could live knowing that they are backwards till I can get them reset for free from my tire guys.

I know it doesn't really apply to this thread but, Cadillac has chrome wheels like our stockers that were available on the 08 STS w/ brake upgrade.

Lindsay Cadillac sells them outright for 686.05 each +shipping. http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums...ml#post1345781 (What does LINDSAY CADILLAC sell??)
