RS 2.0 peeling rims with a positive outcome.
So to try and keep this short, I had a total of 3 rims peeling on my RS 2.0 after 5 months of buying the car new. They were replaced under warranty. A few months later all 4 started to peel.
I contacted Toyota Customer Service and started a case. I asked since there is an obvious flaw in the paint process if they would work with me. I asked since the stock rims are $400 and the TRD 18" rims are $250 if they would replace my rims the them and put a set of tires on the rims since they are 18's. this would come out to about the same $400 per wheel as just replacing my rims. Well after about 2 months of working with Toyota and the dealership, they agreed to do this. Since this was not normal warranty work, the did this as a "Good Faith Customer Service". I had to pay up front and then Toyota will reimburse me up to $1900. Since it was done this way I got the new TRD 18" rims with new tires and I got to keep my stock rims and tires too!! Toyota made a forever loyal customer. I was always kind and professional as were they. Awesome service!! |

It's interesting, RS 2.0 owners also report their rear spoilers coming off due to cheap double sided tape.
Quality control for the car seems pretty rushed. |

These are not the normal stock rims. These are the rims on the RS 2.0 seems to be a common relatively common tissue with them.
