P500 ITP rusted wheels 32 days

[GRANITE]

bought new ITP Tsunamis 32 days ago! Didn’t think they would be rusting after a month! Obviously had I known they weren’t aluminum I’d never had bought them!!

Just the bolts rusting? Swap them out with stainless? Wheel should be aluminum.

I agree, If they are real beadlocks, use either Stainless or a zinc plated bolt.
If a fake beadlock, kinda stuck with them. I don't know how removable they are.

Paint them black. Just an idea.

Had I known they were not all aluminum I wouldn't have bought them. I just didn't think they would use cheap metal bolts in the wheels from ITP but now I know. Rocky Mountain ATV is looking into what can be done.

My ITP wheels are steel, after a month they had deep gouges in the wheel lip and my center caps are crushed in. My luguts look killer tho...

Are those beadlock or simulated bead lock?

Contact the dealer....see what they can do for you

Had the same thing happen to me with some wheels for my truck. It was the cap bolts that got rusty and it wasn't even a year. I b****ed and they replaced them, didn't take long and those rusted too. Guess I could have went back again but...

they were simulated beadlocks. In the picture, you couldn't tell they were bolts. I never would have guessed they were cheap steel bolts...Had I known I'd have not bought them

That's just a poor design. They could have used 304 stainless and had no problem

FWIW,If you go with a stainless bolt make sure you use antiseize on the bolt. If not they will seize into the metal and damage the threads.
