I don't even see anything to click on. And I tried to view source and copy the picture URLs but Facebook reports they 'content is not available'.
If you're in FB and you click on a picture to open it enlarged, then right-click on the picture and choose 'copy image location' that URL should be the one you can use here on the forum.

So after having my truck to dodge, the service manager took pictures and finally Chrysler gave the OK on warranty, just had the rims installed today, very happy with the dealer cooperation and general care and consideration. Two thumbs up for Dodge City in Saskatoon.

I've got a 2012 SXT going back to the dealer in Yorkton tomorrow for rust on the rims and front bumper and fuel mileage.
All 4 rims are at least this bad:
Front bumper:
plus another small spot on passenger side.
Completely ridiculous in my opinion on a vehicle I bought brand new in August and has less than 6000 miles.

Yeah, that's not good, Bry. Even the wheels on my '93 Dakota are still great. I think they are aluminum, but really strong. This Dakota was bought used from Ohio, so it had its day in the salt, but, it was treated with ziebart rust protection when new I guess, and that stuff has worked great! Still no rust, and it's 20 years old!

The coating was coming off of mine on the outer lip(not the clad, the coated wheel underneath) And Dodge replaced all 4 of mine under the bumper to bumper warranty at about 35K miles. The replacements have started doing it again. Whomever makes these wheels suks. I rarely even use soap on them, just water and a soft mitt.

I've had the same problem with my chrome clad rims, I happened to have one spare rim from an accident and out of curiosity I pried the plastic chrome cover off (it's just glued on) and underneath is a nice aluminum rim... so now I'm saying to hell with the plastic crap chrome rim and I'm altering my wheels to just nice aluminum rims.
Just an FYI if anyone is wondering what is under those cheap plastic covers..
