No problems at this time. I hope this is covered under the warranty.

 

Not sure yet tbh, I did purchase an extended 4 year platinum guard warranty on the rims which covers superficial dmg too(worried when wife drives it ya know).
Ill find out whose covering it though but for that it should be manufacturer not an extended warranty IMO.

 

So dealer replacing the defective rim. But order will take 2-3 months and told none in stock in US or Canada

 

Wow! That's a long wait. Where are the replacement rims coming from?

 

You could always bite the bullet and find your local "Mobile Wheel Repair" or "Alloy Wheel Repair" franchise. Should be one fairly close by - you're not exactly on the North Slope.

Thanks for the info. Was told it comes straight from manufacturer.

 

Hope it arrives sooner than expected.

 

Yes I have, in fact I still do. However with the rim protection plan that I put on it I get a lot of service for free because of it with a great team that fixed my curb rash.

 

I came across your post and I'm dealing with the exact same issue. I have a 2019 CT6 Sport with the 20" rims. Clear is peeling exactly like in your pictures. Dealer has been waiting for a reply from GM since September. I'm being told it probably won't be covered by the warranty. Not happy as my car has never been to a carwash and only had 4900 miles on it when I found the peeling.

 

I don't know how they can justify not covering it. It's clearly a defect.

 

because its considered in the category of trim and accessories which are not covered

 

Here are some pictures of what my wheels look like.

 

That's highly disappointing.

 

Makes a guy wonder if it's a certain production run of the wheels that are peeling, or if they will all ultimately do it. I have 8K on mine with no issues. As Carter's sts said "highly disappointing" to have that issue.

 

will all ultimately do it.

Most probably

 

So I too have now been bit by the rim peeling gremlins! Good to go at 6500 miles. Went to get an oil change and tires rotated at 6975 miles today. Looked down and saw one rim with significant peeling and the other 3 with minor peeling starting. The Tech said he was well aware of the problem, took pictures and said he would start a claim and give me a call when he heard word on replacements. I can only hope it doesn't take too long. Fairly disappointing! Rats!

 

Sorry to hear. I've been told to drop my car off at dealer and they will have a "wheel guy" look at them and fix them under warranty...car goes in next week. I'd rather have new wheels.

 

Clearcoat over either polished or machined aluminum is very fragile. One tiny imperfection or ding in the coating and it allows oxidation of the alloy wheel itself. As posted earlier, a local alloy wheel repair franchise can refinish wheels.

Our 2014 Explorer, built in December 2013, has clearcoated alloy wheels and, so far, has no evidence of flaking or oxidation - and it does get fairly regular commercial car washes. Fingers crossed.

Real chrome plating over alloy is pretty durable - here's my February 2002 STS with the original (now 19 years old) 17" wheels as of last August. Not a chip or flake anywhere.

 

Fix may end up being better. New is nice but only if they have truly fixed the problem. I worry about getting new ones then having them go bad at lets say 80k after warranty. The facts are it is disappointing. Should not happen on a 20k car much less a 100k car. I guess only time will tell if the replacements will hold up. Let us know how the "wheel guys" work looks. Maybe send some pics. Might give folks an option to replacement especially if new ones end up going bad. Thanks!

 

Just purchased a 2019 CT6-V and my wheels are doing the exact same thing. I only have 4100 miles on the car. Hope warranty will cover...

 

Got my car back from dealer. Here are the wheels after being recoated. Not bad. Tried to take some pics of the imperfections but came out blurry. Just some small things such as dust or dirt under the clear. I pointed them out to the dealer and they said if there is any issues to bring it back and they'd have them redone again as long as its still under warranty. The real test is time.

 

Just some small things such as dust or dirt under the clear.

That's due to shoddy work. It will eventually cause issues. I would have them get another shop do the work.

 

Just an update on this one. The wheels the dealership ordered me that were on back order came in last week and I had them installed yesterday. Hopefully this new batch of wheels hold up over the long haul. Nice to have them!

 

I went and bought another set of the SHH wheels for my 19 V cause the originals had some strange scratches. We looked at the original (standard) V wheels and he told me that peeling is caused by corrosion under the clear coating. The take-offs I purchased had some light scratches. I tried some Mother's Aluminum Polish (tin can) and the scratches came out. The SHH wheels are polished aluminum and don't appear to have clear on them which gets cloudy if you try polish on them. As a poster above said, chrome plating has much more durability. You need to polish occasionally because chrome has small imperfections that eventually will lead to corrosion underneath the surface. Filling these imperfections with polish or was will seal them much like a painted surface.

 

Sorry for a delay, but my rims indeed started peeling massively in January. However they have just been replaced free of charge.

 

Just purchased a 2019 CT6 V Blackwing. 12,500 miles. Beautiful, but some issues, such as clear coat peeling on multiple rims. Can't believe I didn't see this before the purchase was finalized. Taking it to dealership next week, fingers crossed that I won't feel like I was duped.

Sorry for a delay, but my rims indeed started peeling massively in January. However they have just been replaced free of charge.

Can you please share at which dealership you were able to have the rims replaced, "Free of Charge"? Meeting some preliminary resistance, and when I take mine in, I'd like to have as much information as possible.

Thanks

 

Hello fellow CT6-V owners!
Unfortunately, mine also are peeling... Took to dealer and they said $600+ to fix. Hoping to get covered from this thread!

 

They are supposed to cover it, they replaced all four of mine bran new. Are you the original owner of the vehicle? Also 600 fix dosent do a good job on these rims, issue will keep progressing.

 

Yes, from this thread I see that, but, unfortunately my dealer Caddilac of Novi (MI) said they were not covered. (They took a picture and sent in through an app!?) When I questioned them about it and asked to speak with someone at GM, they said call the 800#... There is no one. When I asked the GM Ed Pobur, he said the same thing... Just a terrible experience with service and these guys! Buying the car: You are a KING.

Service, anything like that, worst, ever. Tim Wooster Service Manager.

Yes, I am the original owner.

Also, just a heads-up to my brothers (and sisters?) here... I had a Oil Control Valve that went bad and needed to be replaced. (Car shuts down to limited power mode... Crazy that should happen on a hand built $100k automobile, but, stuff happens) They did fix that, but still wanted to speak to someone at GM about all of it. Want to keep this car a long time.

Well there's my "rant"... Any contacts, real help, much obliged!

Going to try another dealer, next.

It is a known bulletin, they have to replace it. If they are giving you issues, you need to request a Field representative from GM to take a look at it. GM and Cadillac knows about this issue, and we worked hard to get it known back in November and December of last year.

Going to another dealer, try it.

Thank you Nicholas!

(Along with Engine Oil Valve Controller, you may want to know about premature brake pad warning, brake fade/failure Recall (some states), brake lock-up on malfunctions with pedestrian/front collision system. 2019's. I am from Detroit. Guess I could just drive down to GM headquarters... But Cadillac is now based out of NY, I think.

 

Phew, glad that you got that fixed. I knew that someone would be able to go the extra mile to get you straight.

 

Thanks to those of you who posted about rims being replaced in this thread. I sent a link to my service advisor and we went to bat for me (again). He just texted today that GM has agreed to replace my wheels and he hopes to have them in later this week.

 

Great news. Glad GM is moving forward with this.

 

So, I'm still dealing with the peeling issue. To recap, I had peeling on all my rims, dealer claimed GM won't replace them. Dealer said they could have the wheels refinished under warranty. The wheels were refinished and looked ok. So now its been over a year since the wheels were refinished and they are peeling and cracking all over again. Took the car to the dealer looking to just have the wheels replaced. I was told GM won't do anything because the wheels had been refinished. The dealer will simply have the wheels refinished again for me. But of course, as soon as my warranty is up, I will be stuck dealing with this on my own. All I wanted was for the rims to be replaced. Should I just call GM and fille a claim for replacement rims? Just frustrated and looking for ideas.
