Filiform Corrosion on Lions Head Wheels

[dangust]

Thanks, I agree on the structural issue but this is a new coach. What a shame.

Are there any US sourced wheels available?

I was wrong. There used to be US wheel makers, but no more that make RV trailer wheels. MY friends at Discount tire recommended Sendel as they have had pretty much zero problems with them company wide. These are the ones I got to replace mine. I did up-size to 16" http://sendelwheel.com/wheels/t13.html

2020 Reflection 295 RL, 4 months old, the Center hub caps are rusting and the aluminum wheels are corroding. Sounds like this is a common problem and no one will stand behind it. Has anyone had any luck? Dealer says not warrantable and GD is just plain rude about it regardless of the age of the coach.

I had mine replaced but that was part of the deal when we bought the rig as the wheels were corroded around the center caps. Now a year and half later they are starting to look like the first post pictures.

I thought that I posted this last night but evidently my brain cell failed....

I had issues with my previous TT where I had to replace two OEM Lionshead wheels. Replacements were difficult to get and expensive to source. I found a distributor in Ohio that was great about getting me a set of 4 Sendel wheels to put on. They looked great and the insurance adjuster pointed out to me that the load ratings were higher than the OEM and suggested I upgrade the tires too. He liked that all of it cost less than just two new OEM wheels.

I’ve joined the club... one year old rims didn’t like the winter parking even though they were covered. All 4 rims are similar.

Have you contacted Lions Head Wheels? They are still under warranty.

I have not yet given the responses in this thread. Expecting the "cosmetics are not covered". For giggles, I'll give it a try.
