Hello All,

Add another one to the list of VX owners who have had their pitted rims replaced free of charge by Isuzu. After reading a post a few months ago regarding the rim problem, I noticed the pitting and peeling chrome on the inside of all 4 rims. I called my local dealer (Dom's Kia/Isuzu of North Plainfield, NJ) and told the service manager the problem. I was met with the same skepticism that most owners had received when they brought the issue to their local dealer's attention. But, thanks to the "Search" option on Vehicross.info and Clubvmag.com, I had printed a copy of every post having to do with this problem, complete with pictures. I handed the stack of posts to the service manager (with a picture of the pitted rims on top) and invited him outside to look at the rims for himself. There wasn't much he could say after that, and a 2 week wait, my new rims were installed Friday. (Which would have cost $1700 if they weren't under warranty) Thanks to all who posted about the rim problem, and I hope anyone who has to go through their dealer for rim replacement, has a smooth and hassle-free experience.
