I have the 2010 FX 20"s but they are the same as you can get on a lariat today I think. Mine have been through 2 winters now and are starting to corrode where the polished finish meets the painted finish on the wheels. I have read a couple threads from last year that explained the same problem (added a link because i know how to use the search). I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem? What have you done about it? Did anyone get new wheels from Ford? Is there anyway to prevent this?

I cannot believe nobody else has this going on? I am going to try to go to the dealer tomorrow and see what happens.

There definitely is a few areas where rust can be seen through, I think next year I will plastidip those spots for the winter to help protect the running boards and bumpers. But in a few years I will hopefully swap out the OEM boars for aftermarket.

My rims are corroding / pealing at the bead lip. The clear plastic coat is coming off I have a 2009 20" with chrome cladding.

The dealer agreed to replace mine under warranty but I traded it in before I got around to it.

Yup, my 09 had that problem. the edges were corroding and pealing. Never worried to much about it because it was a lease and I knew I wouldnt be keeping it. Our 2007 Jeep Liberty also has the same problem. I am blaming it on all the crap they put on our roads in the winter.

A coat of Wheel Wax.

I worked for a wheel company for a bunch of years and found this issue often. Typically, when there is insufficient clear coat on the wheels corrosion starts underneath the clear coat. This should be a warranty problem but if it happens after warranty has expired it can be repaired.

First you have to strip all the clear coat, then remove the corrosion and re-clear coat. Note, if you only fix the area in question I suspect you will soon have a problem in a neighboring area as the root cause has not been addressed.

Dealer replaced mine last year no hassle. Exact same problem.
