20" Roush Rims (Pitting)

[G9-428R]

On my 2008 Roush 428R I have updated 20" Roush rims and tires from 18". On the inside of my rims they are starting to pit??? I was told by a Ford dealership that the 18" Roush rims were known to do this and that on the new Roush's that have the 20" rims this issue was corrected as far as pitting was concerned. Has anyone heard of this problem and does anyone know what I can do to stop it and fix it.

Just some more info, when I purchased this car back in October the car sat on a Dealerships lot up North in Mass. for around 8 months out in the elements????? I think this is when the rims started to pit even thow they were brand new from the previous owner putting them on just before trading in this beauty for a Land Rover ;-(

Please any info would be helpful, and by the way this beauty I can say will never see a day of rain or snow again so as far as the pitting is concerned........................... ;-)

Thanx,

Frank.

On those rims ,as with others of that material pitting can happen.

Nice Roush...........Look at the NEW HYPER SERIES RIMS. Now for sale by Roush. 20's like you have but matte black.

Yea I was looking at the new Hyper 20's in Matte Black but I would rather try and save these rims and put my money into some more Horses ;-)

Thanx for the reply.

I don't believe you can unpit the wheels, once they start corroding you can't reverse the process, you can slow it down and stop it but I am not sure about reversing it. Your best bet may be to talk to a Roush dealer and see if they know any fixes to this and get new ones and implement the fix.

Yea thats a good idea, I have a Roush dealer near me so maybe with some luck there will be a recall. Well see.

Thanx for the info and reply back.
