CHROME WHEEL CARE & WARRANTY
Wheel Pros always maintains the highest customer satisfaction levels in the custom wheel industry. In order to maintain these levels, the warranties on chrome plated wheels must be understood by the end user. Regardless of the wheel finish, all wheels are covered by some manufacturer's specific warranties and guidelines. For specific warranty information, please visit: Wheel Warranty
The following information may help with questions related specifically to chrome finished wheel warranty and care:
• Wheel Pros warrants that chrome aluminum finishes will be free from peeling or lifting on the face of the wheel for a period of one year.
Note: Chrome pitting is not covered by any wheel manufacturer. Chrome pitting is not the same as chrome peeling or lifting on the face of the wheel. Chrome wheel pitting is primarily caused by exposure to road salt, moisture, and debris, which can damage the thin chrome layer and lead to corrosion. Road salt and other ice. melting products are particularly harsh, accelerating corrosion by eating away at the protective chrome finish. Grime, debris and dirt can trap moisture, speeding up the deterioration process.
• This warranty is not applicable if:
o Damage occurred due to failure to follow completely the instructions provided
in the Wheel Pros Consumer Information and WTC Aftermarket Wheel
Installation Guidelines.
o Corrosion or damage occurred due to improper maintenance.
o Damage or structural failure occurs as a result of an accident or road
conditions.
o Damage or structural failure occurs as a result of improper use of the vehicle
including, but not limited to, on and off-road racing.
• All chrome plated wheels should be cleaned when cool to the touch with mild soap and
water frequently.
• When possible, chrome plated wheels should not be used in areas where salt and
chemicals are used in winter weather. Run other wheels during winter months.
• If chrome wheels are driven in the winter months they should be cleaned every week.
• Chrome sealant is highly recommended for use on chrome wheels that are driven in
winter.
• Most manufacturers’ warranties only cover the face of the wheel and not pitting or
peeling on the backside of the wheel. Proper attention should be paid to the backside
of chrome plated wheels when washing. Wheel caps follow the wheel warranty.
