Vehicle has original 20" aluminum wheels. The car rims are showing advanced corrosion and deep pitting of the chrome near the wheel mounting studs and between the spokes. I suspect galvanic corrosion. Washing and waxing wheels does not help.

problem #1

The 20" aluminum wheels on my vehicle are progressively corroding and the corrosion has now advanced to the wheel flange which seals with the tire bead. As a result, tire pressure deflates at an ever increasing rate. I have become concerned about safety, especially at high speed driving. It appears that as more corrosion occurs, tire deflation also occurs at a faster rate. These are very expensive optional wheels which should not be corroding.
