Interesting take on TSB for wheels

Showed this to my service tech. and he was unaware of this.

The dealer has many new cars for sale with chromed OEM rims.

Guess the profit they make warrants them ignoring the TSB.

ITB92069Infiniti Original Equipment or Genuine Accessory Alloy wheels, along with their finish coating (clear, chrome, titanium, etc.), are specifically developed to achieve Infiniti design and performance standards. These Original Equipment or Genuine Accessory wheels are subjected to testing to ensure they meet Infiniti's standards. Infiniti Original Equipment Alloy or Genuine Accessory wheels subjected to aftermarket chroming may no longer continue to meet these standards and may be seriously damaged. Therefore, Infiniti most strongly discourages, and recommends that these wheels NEVER be subjected to, aftermarket chroming. See this bulletin for further details.

The wheels are available from the factory in chrome, it even says so in the TSB. What the TSB says, is that non chrome wheels should not be chrome plated afterwards.

common sense and reading comprehension much?

The dealer sends factory wheels off to be chromed. An additionalsticker is adhered to the window next to the factory invoice.

Smart-a** remarks are not warranted.
