Default oem wheel damaged exactly what components are needed for replacement?

well my car arrived awesome with flawless mag red paint...but i am jinxed as out of 5 camaro ss's i have owned new the last 2 camaro ss's i ordered came in with pitted (1) chrome wheel (OEM) on each car and without runflats were a bear to mount without any marring :( especially on older machines.

btw, these are high polished wheels.

anyhow drivers front wheel has a nickel size rust or unpolished area in corner where spoke meets and i am getting conflicting info on exactly what components are needed other than wheel. aren't the tp sensors able to be swapped with wheel just replacing o rings or is the whole tp sensor re-used/replaced?

i have one shot at getting my order correct since i do my own ordering for any and all things related to my personal cars at my store and would like to "do it rite the first time" so any help is appreciated.


thanx in advance

I don't understand. If the new car came with a new wheel that has a "nickel" sized rust or unpolished area on the high polished wheels, shouldn't this be addressed under the 36 month/ 36,000 mile new car warranty and simply replaced? Why have a rusted wheel on a brand new car?
