Steve, i have to agree with you...!
Being that dodge has to try and sell more than ford and chevy, we get "rammed" harder buying dodge rams.
Good luck to ya budd, on getting them to replace your corroded wheels, they wouldnt do fuggin SH_T for me.
Next time around, i`m going with a ford or a chevy, cetainly cant be any worse off, an its time for a change anyway.

It's not Rust! Plastic doesn't rust, neither does aluminum. Those are the 2 compounds your wheels are made up of. It's your brake pads that are causing the pitting and rust looking marks. It' could also be from Wheel cleaner. If it's labeled wheel cleaner, it's harmful to your Chrome Clad, dont care much what brand it is...They ALL ARE! Degreaser is the only thing you should be using on your wheels diluted at any amount greater than 50:1. Stonger concentrations can leave stained streak marks from dripping.
Brake pads are held together by glue. As you brake, the glue melts and forms into dust particulates that burn or "etch" little marks on your wheel covers.
Wheel cleaners are meant for metals, not plastics. They all have acid in them which eats up the plastic, pits and peels them...eventually.

I'd use a degreaser when you wash and then a polisher after when clean.
For a current issue, the spots may come clean, but there is going to be minor pit damage left behind. Dirt will accumulate there faster now.
If your afraid of scratching the covers by scrubbing them too much, a polish is probably better to use. May not come as clean near as quick though.
