Default Pitting Chrome Wheels

I just detailed the H2 and after the winter my stock chrome wheels are pitting.

Has anyone had this issue and if so, is this something the dealer will replace under warranty?

I used some chrome polish on them and it got rid of the black oxidation around the pits but the pits are still there and visible.

That's be all the excuse I'd need to get me some wicked after market rims! Maybe some ProComp X-Terrain on em as well.

Salt on roads where you live? Probably not warranty, however if your dealer is good you can usually get them to help.

I have read that some dealers are replacing wheels that are pitting, where are they pitting? On the smooth surface or rough?

i thought i was the only one having that problem. i bought my 2k7 h2 in feb. and the wheels are pitting like crazy.

since i'm in pittsburgh, we have all kinds of salt on the roads during the winter.

the winters here trashed my 300c's wheels!! they went from chrome to black.

anyway, i was going to call my dealer, but i figured they would give me the "salt on the roads" excuse...
