Lets get this forum going with Olds Silhouette Drivers!
I have an 01 I bought new now has over 200k KM (130 K Miles), Canadian car. Still drives nice, it is still comfortable with original springs/shocks. My biggest beef is the chrome plated alloy wheels, had two sets replaced under warranty, due to chrome peeling off in large pieces. On my 3rd set now,which are doing the same, now out of warranty. No winters on these wheels, only summer driving and they continue to disintegrate.

Any one else have this problem? I am surprised there is no tech service bulletin on these. Annoying as it looks like crap and tires only hold air for a week before they need to be topped up.
