It's a known problem, but this wasn't done to be cheap. Real chrome wheels are heavy and subject to pitting over time. The chrome clad wheels are lighter and supposed to last longer. This is the first wheel of its kind so naturally there are initial problems. I'm sure they're working on the problem and will make new wheels available as soon as possible. In the meantime let the dealer replace them as often as necessary.

Thanks!

Has anyone taken a close look at the 20" chrome clad wheels? It certainly looks like there is two pieces, the aluminum wheel with a chrome covering. I have had a 2008 MKX for 3 months and some one at a gas station told me to take a close look at the wheels. The chrome part can be flexed slightly. I am not sure what that part is made of. A relative bought a 2008 Navigator with very similar looking wheels but they are one entire piece. On the MKX the option price is $895, the Navigator is $1495. Are the wheels sold in two pieces? And could the chrome covering considered a hubcap, a $895 set of hubcaps???

Is anyone else having this problem???

I have an '08 Limited - These 20" wanna be chrome wheels are a plastic finish over a steel wheel. What do you get when you mix plastic and steel? What I got was a NOISE MAKER!!! This is the 2ND set of wheels they have put on my crossover in less than 5K miles of owning it! When you are slow rolling like when your car is being brought to you at Valet Service its sounds horrible!! It sounds like when you were a kis and you put a card in your bikes spokes or ran over a coke can or played on your PLASTIC hotwheel - it sounds like it is falling apart and CHEAP! I am HOTT!
