    Anyone had peeling wheel finish & gotten a long term fix?

    Hi Amy, is it a chip/gouge in the wheel or just the clearcoat that's coming off? if it's gouged/curb scraped it'll have to be repaired/welded then recleared. if it's just the clear they can be stripped and recleared. hope this helps. Al:dunno:

    Major oil leak repairs

    I'm not sure,there is a gasket that you can see looking at them but maybe it's part of them.mine were weepy,not really leaking and the tech just went and replaced them.of course under gmpp there's the more they do the better!!!. I think gismo did his own and may be able to add to this. Al
