Rim Issue

Has anyone had this issue with their tow vehicle tire rims? Were they attached the weights to the rim it's causing corrosion. This is on a 2010 chevy 2500HD.

I think that is called Bimetallic corrosion. I had my outer weights removed and changed the stick on weights on the inside. That looks bad. Maybe GM will cover that under their corrosion warranty?

I had that happen on my old Chevy. It looked to me like the wheel weight had damaged the lamination that protects the wheel and let moisture get in.

I had that happen on my last Chevy. On my new Chevy I had the dealer remove the factory installed zinc weights and put stick on stick weights on inside. I can't believe that GM still puts the clip on weights on aluminum wheels.

After just getting new tires and researching wheel weights, I opted for clip on weights. They balance better.
