Alloys Corrosion Advice Needed!!

dazaboy · 3rd December 2007, 13:20

I have 18" Storm alloys on my new EX CDTI model. The wheels were originally from my civic sport but i transfered them over at point of sale at the weekend. My friend noticed around the inner edges that blistering is starting to occur on most, if not all of the wheels. It is minimal just now but i have been advised that they will worsen over time. The alloys have done less than 11,000 miles. I have been told that the wheels, when designd in Asia, were not designed to cope with salt which we use considerably on our roads in the winter. Does anyone know if i have a strong case of getting these replaced under warranty? Your advice is very much appreciated.

If you got them replaced wouldnt they just go the same way?
maybe get yours stripped and refinished. the paint and laquer used should be more robust and you may not have the problem again. see if Honda would pick up the tab. its got to be cheaper for them than springing for a full set of new wheels.
