TT2Z Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 :Totally perfect, especially since i had 4 new GT4 alloys fitted yesterday under warranty. Could I ask why you had new wheels fitted ? I'm having issues with the paint on my wheels. Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ian, If your wheels are bubbling like this the you should get them replaced under warranty, best to take photos of your calipers before the work is done as they are easily chipped when the wheels come off.

Beavis Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Is this a common fault with these wheels as mine at the moment are currently mint Looks like a road salt problem though, same thing happened to my Lexus but they were changed under warranty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkW Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Could do with getting a new set myself as two of em are kerbed. Have to look for bubbling/blistering tomorrow Good luck with the sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT2Z Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 David, for a minute, I thought you'd been round and taken pictures of my wheels......... They look exactly like that. I think I will bring this to the dealers attention, and IF they are willing to replace them, wait until I need new tyres and get the lot done at once. Is this a know issue with Nissan CS, or just at dealer level ? Thanks Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did come round and take pics of yours It's a known issue with NMGB and at dealer level - depending on your dealer of course. You need to insist that your wheels are replaced and NOT refurbished. These wheels should not look like that after 18months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its just 1 then i think they will just replace the one, if its 3, then they will replace all 4. 2 of mine are so middle of next year i am going to get it changed over along with the rear mouse that must be in the wheel arch, he makes a noise sometimes AND NO I DID NOT BREAK THAT!

I knew it yeah i know, seeing them in motion on a few at the SE meet i loved how you can see the calipers and they look great. May get some and get them made up in gunmetal or black Just to try it.
