Blistering Wheels

Greetings

I bought a new 2005 Corolla with alloy wheels - and the wheels are very very blistered / bubbled. I thought I saw a series of photos on this site of wheels that were similarly defective.

Has anyone else experienced this and / or can sonmeone help me locate those pictures.

Any comments - thanks

Hi

I'm trying to find out if Toyota can/will replace or at least provide an adjustment for for fixing this.
I know I saw a set of pics from someone who had a similar problem, then i got busy and i lost the link b/4 was able to ask them if they had solved the problem.

i'm still looking.

thats just the wheels pitting from road salt.... ive never actually seen anyone get that fixed........ =\ the only people i know that had that issue just bought new wheels.. of course they bought new wheels just because of the look and not because the wheels were not functional.....
