| All four factory mitsubishi chrome 17 inch wheels began to pit starting from the lug and hub area . this rapidly progressed into peeling of the chrome and soon the chrome at the bead cracked causing air pressure in the tires to rapidly decrease losing close to 10 lb of air pressure over a 24 hr period. this leads to an unsafe driving condition. and also damaged 2 tires from under inflation. i then purchased a new set of 4 tires thinking maybe the tires were the problem but after a brand new set of tires were installed still experiencing air loss. *tr | |||
