Wheels rusting

Greetings Boys, I have a problem with the wheels on my 2007 Tacoma, double cab 4x4, they are starting to rust. The long and short of it is that the dealer wants to have them sanded and re-powder coated instead of replacing them. They sent me to their wheel shop and I was told the wheels are defective, they were not manufactored correctly and as a result water gets under the powder coat and starts to rust. They were going to replace them but now they want to send me to yet another wheel place. I have had a great relationship with Toyota for years and they have alway done right by thier products, but this doesn't seem right. I understand they got a bad batch of wheels sometime in late 2004. Does anyone have any experience with this type of problem and is the fix they are proposing going to correct the defect or not?

 

yeah me too, 2007 with only 60k miles....wheels look like crap. I just got a recall about frame rust and im gonna raise cain about the wheels when I go in...had many Toyotas including a 4runner that now has almost 300k on it and the wheels look better than the 2007....seriously
