Bring it back to the dealer. I have 50K on my truck up here in the Northeast with nothing on my rims that looks like that. My clads still look like brand new, and I use Mothers chrome wheel cleaner on them every time I wash my truck.

 

x2, I use mothers on all my chrome. The brake dust and salt is a problem if you don't keep it up. The chrome from Dodge on these 4th gens is horrible and my Dodge running boards are pitted. This is a know problem and Dodge should stand behind their product. Good luck at the dealer.

 

My chrome clads are peeling the chrome in spots, mostly due to salt and corrosion.

 

Ram,

Talk to the dealer first and see what they can do for you. If they do not resolve your issue then call the Chrysler Customer Assistance Center at 800-992-1997. One of the first questions they will ask if you call is if you have already let the dealer try and fix the issue so I would recommend the dealer first, especially if you have had satisfactory dealings with them in the past as you have stated.

 

Mine got replaced, they looked similar, all four. I was within the 3 years.

 

Had those replaced too, but not for corrosion cuz they fell off.

 

They won't warranty mine because it was after a year and they weren't installed at the dealer. Buyer beware.. they're junk and I'm going aftermarket and powdercoated next time. I looked into having them sandblasted and powdercoated but it's almost as much as new aftermarket, so I'll wait.

 

Looks like you've got etched wheels along with chemical blotching. The etch is cause by the brake pads. The pad materials are held together with adhesive. As your brakes wear, the adhesives are heated and become very acidic. So, when your pads wear as you apply your brakes, the dust is flying outwards as the wheel spins. The dust actually contains chemical. These are the tiny dots you see that look like rust.
Just beware that most wheel cleaners have some bad chit in them(acid) and they can eat plastic even if they are wet before applying the chemical. Continued use of them will strip the finish off the wheels and cause spotting, discoloring and even stain them. That is if they dont strip the finish...
It can be difficult to clean them without the harsh chemicals, so that means you'll need to clean them more often.
I'd use glass cleaner sparingly(yes it does contain ammonia but at safe levels) , bug/tar remover or the same soap you use to clean your paint. Neverdull is a wadding polish and can be abrasice on smooth shiny surfaces such as chromed plastic. I wouldnt use neverdull or scorthbrite or any mild abrasive type cloths. It's actually okay to use a mildly abrasive liquid such as heavy cut polishing compound with a soft cloth. The liquid lubricates and the rags/scotch brite scuffs.... the scotchbrite will even scuff with a lubricant (liquid)
Owned a Detail shop for 7yrs. I've tried it all. The cars that were experimented on were auction cars, not customer cars...just fyi

 

I agree...
As a Detailer and owner of those exact cheap wheels, keep them clean more often and use Flitz Chrome and Metal Polish on them a couple time a year. It will help keep the break dust and environmental fallout junk from building up on them. Its labor intensive and time consuming but it yeilds the best results. Use with a soft cloth or microfiber towel. Like Dirty Dog said, you can use a heavy liquid compound but it might leave micro scratching. Use the Flitz, pricey but I use it everyday!
Good luck at the Dealer, I think they will sent you back home in dissapointment!

 

I just got a Sport QC and had no idea they came with similar chrome clad (plastic) wheels. They can't come off of my truck soon enough. They'll be replaced very soon.
