Todd.
It was mainly on S/C cars but some N/A's had wheels that made the list. You do not need to dismount a tire to see the production date on a Saleen wheel. It's stamped on the inside edge, outer ring near the bead.

His name is Ron. You can choose how good you want them to do it and what you want to spend. Could take a week or so. He is a fair guy.

Minor peeling began on my wheels shortly after the warrantee expired. crapola

Not only that but coincidentally I just noticed the right front tire is low. The bead has probably corroded again, causing a slow leak. Guess, it’s time for a re-chrome.
I am shopping wheels for our G35 and they won’t be chrome plated. I’m done with it.
I had my silver wheels replaced by Saleen since they had cracks in the powercoat on 3 out of 4. I paid the difference and 'upgraded' to the chromes. Big mistake... the finish on them is crap. Call Saleen and ask for the warranty department. They exchanged mine even though the warranty was over, you never know unless you make a call.
