I have a 2001 chrysler pt cruiser which has the 5 spoke wheels on it and all have the chrome coming off and the tires keep going flat. I have replaced all 4 tires thinking that was the problem. Then goodyear showed me the wheel when they had it off the car and the tire off. It was cracked and the chrome is coming off inside and on the outside. My tires going flat is being caused by the wheels. Now I need to replace those too.
