Alloys Corrosion Its only 7 months old...

MisterTee · 26th May 2008, 17:17

Hello,

MY car is only 7 month old, I've had it for about 3 months and I was inspecting the alloys this morning and noticed some bubbling under the surface.

What are my chances of getting a new set on warranty? Surely alloys should last longer than this?

There appear to be a lot of "Friday afternoon" Honda's out there...

Other people with the same/similar problem have had their wheels replaced with no worries.

As Allan says, others have had no problems getting them replaced under warranty.

Get your dealer to check them. These 'veins' will spoil your wheels in time.
