99-04 Chrome Wheels Peeling

[S2BLKROUSH]

I purchased some Roush Chrome wheels online through a pretty large distributor on Ebay. Not sure if I want to mention his name yet since I am not sure how that sits here with admin. Either way, when I bought them, a few others here were purchasing the same ones. I think Firemanz was one of them. To the point, in March I noticed they had started to peel. I let him know, and he told me to contact Roush. I have yet to hear back from them, and it has been months. Is it a Roush issue, or am I pretty much sunk since I bought them through a Roush Authorized Seller? Any info you can give me is much appreciated as to me $2000.00 was not change in my wallet.

Hey Betty Roush, good to see ya over here. It's a common problem with the Roush wheels of that era to peel. And its also common for you to have to stay on top of Roush Performance to get a warranty issue resolved. Good luck with it hope it turns out well for you. What is the dealer offering for a warranty on the wheels or is he just passing the buck?

Thanks, I guess I'll just keep pressing the issue, hopefully someone can help me out.

Let me know what happens. One of my wheels is peeling real bad

[Firemanz]

I have one that started to peel on me too man...

[360Rocket]

this isn't a new subject, do a search and you may find someone else that had success with Roush and a contact name.

3 out of 4 on mine are OK, the 4th is peeling VERY bad, you're not alone... I ended up just buying a set of 18x9 18x10 chrome bullits from Stage3Motorsports for an unbeatable price much less than the Roush rims...the bullits have been sitting in my basement for a year almost lol

[04roush2]

Will the warranty cover these rims even if the car is not under the Ford warranty?

It is covered under the Roush warranty, not Ford. I don't think it has anything to do with the car itself being under warranty.

Sweet, I'm calling Roush tomorrow

[mkeane]

dont have the chrome's but didnt i read somewhere that the chrome wheels only have a 1 year warranty??

my 07 is peeling and covered under the warranty...though I have yet to get the wheel...looks like this problem continues to be ongoing...Roush might want to find a new manufacturer

I haven't had any luck, and the wheel continues to peel. It is coming off on the inner part of the wheel, so I guess right now my only options are going to be to keep pressing. Firemanz, I think you got them around the same time I did, maybe the same place. Let me know if you have contacted them too. I did, and of course it just goes in a circle.

I havent conacted anyone honestly. I'm actually seriously contemplating selling the ride anyway. We have a baby on the way and having a 3rd car payment that sits in the garage isnt really doing us any good.

My back two wheels are peeling pretty bad too

[T-Sho]

My driver's side front is peeling bad because I scraped it hard on a curb once . I just came to the conclusion that I probably would just have to buy another rim.

Im not sure how Roush is going to warranty these wheels. The just recently discontinued them.

They are discontinued already???? Swell. Probably not much longer for body parts then too huh?

[S2BLKROUSH]

Discontinued? After I posted this thread? J/P lol, oh well. I may just buy something different. Maybe I'll have them done in black, or buy some black wheels.

I had the same issue with my 99-02 style wheels. Not so much 'peeling'. But, 'pitting'. It's the only REAL blemish on the car. I just bought a new set of the 'new style' on Friday. So, the 'New Style' has been discontinued, too? LOL. WOW....And they still have the same issue? DAYUMMMM!
