Atlanta Wheels has established the highest customer satisfaction levels in the custom wheel industry. In order to maintain these levels, the warranties on chrome plated wheels must be understood by the end user. Atlanta Wheels must advise all of our dealers to explain the proper care and maintenance of chrome wheels to the end user. All wheels are covered by the manufacturer's specific warranties and guidelines. We have put together the following information in order to help with all chrome plated warranty issues:

4 • Salt & brake dust buildup -

If you live in areas where there are extreme climate conditions, please be aware that additional care needs to be taken to keep the finish from being damaged. Additionally in any climatic area, care must be taken to periodically remove any brake dust from the inner barrel and windows of the chrome wheels.

	Example: areas that use salt on the roads. If the salt comes in contact with the wheel the finish can be damaged. It is advised to install different wheels during these conditions.
	Example: in coastal areas extra care needs to be taken to keep the wheels clean as the salt air and an accumulation of brake dust can damage the finish of the wheel.

*** Damage to finish by salt or brake dust build-up is NOT covered by this warranty! ***

5• Examples of wheels not covered by this warranty -



Example of pitting from climatic conditions (road salts) on the inside window, and inner barrel. Salts that are not promptly cleaned from the wheel corrode the chrome finish and the soft aluminum casting beneath. This type of damage is not covered under this warranty.

Wheel scratch examples caused by improper re-packaging. When the protective plastic bag is not used, the cardboard shipping materials will act like sand paper against the chrome finish.

Brake Dust Buildup	Improper tire mounting lubricant

Accident (Curb rash)	Accident (Curb hit)

Examples of chrome peeling damage caused by wheel balancer threaded mounting post during installation.

Examples of a chrome wheel that has been cleaned with steel wool.
