WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2012 GMC Yukon XL, 2012 GMC Yukon, 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2012 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2012 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
- Inspect the wheel for corrosion, scrapes, gouges, etc. Damage MUST NOT be deeper than what can be sanded or polished off.
- Inspect the wheel for cracks. If cracks are found, discard the wheel.
- ALL wheels with bent rim flanges must not be repaired or refinished.
- The re-machining and the re-clear coating of aluminum wheels is not recommended in the dealer environment due to concerns of repair durability.
- Do not use any re-machining process that removes aluminum. This could affect the dimensions and function of the wheel.
