Corroding Alloys

Recommended Posts

Anyone else had this problem ? - standard 18" alloys....

 

Gave the car a good clean today as I'm off to the Lake Districit tomorrow morning with it - and I noticed minor corrosion on two of the wheels (on the spoke).

 

Even worse is that it isn't the one that is slightly kerbed :D

 

Are Nissan likely to replace under warranty ok ? I had the same problem on a Peugeot 206CC and they were all replaced under warranty afer 2 years. Z will be 2yrs old at end of March.

My front two are corroding and are going in for refurbing tomorrow under warranty. :thumbs: I'm paying for the back 2 to be done so they match up (about £50 each). I've also confirmed that I can choose the colour and I'm tempted to go anthracite or a gunmetal - any thoughts?

 

I think the darker anthracite would look well on your car Jonathan :thumbs:

My dealer (Evans Halwshaw in Mansfield) sends the wheels to Pristine Wheels (01908 282628) who I spoke with yesterday and they said for the 1 piece wheels (which GT4s are I believe), with the tyres removed it would cost £50 per wheel.

 

I thought it fair and reasonable. The bodywork guy I use for our vehicles charged me £20 per wheel before but that's with tyres on.

 

Going to check out the colour options this morning.
