Re: Alloy wheels

CAd 7 March 2006 19:20:38
 Hey all, same subject, different matter. I have 5 309 GTi wheel I would like
refurbed, I would do it myself but all the laquer has come away, solution: I
don't know, Are the people who can refurb these, and if so what costings.
Maybe it would be better to try to source some others, even though they are
getting rarer and probably as knackered as mine, I have the smaller
'pepper-pot' alloys at the mo and need to ochange to keep with the
originalness of the car...

 Is it normal for alloy wheels starting to blister after 18 months (16000
miles)
The blistering is concentrated in the middle of the wheel around the
manufacturers badge, and is starting generally all over, it's now looking
very unsightly.
The car is a Mazda 3 Sport, would this be a warranty claim, or is this
normal?

They normally get cleaned with the same car wash I use on the rest of the
car, or a car wash. I have never used any kind of wheel cleaner.
The car is washed say once a week, and the wheels are generally clean, I
don't usually wait until I cannot see the original colour of the wheel.

It's not normal, yes it should be a warranty claim

I agree, I could see the point if it was around the inside edge where the
wheels are almost constantly covered in brake dust/grime, but the worst
affected areas are in the middle where the wheel is always clean, and all
wheels are the same.
Assuming it is a warranty claim then should I insist on new wheels or
getting them refurbished?

It depends on how long an argument you're prepared to have.

My 2001 Avensis alloys still look good after a clean despite going weeks
(and months sometimes) between cleans! I'm guessing this is down to the
lacquer that they use to protect them. I personally would be happy to accept
refurbished on condition thet they are suitably protected as getting another
set of same sounds like you'll have same problem in a short time.

I know that Honda had a corrosion issue with some Civic Type-R alloys,
and replaced them under warranty for customers who made a fuss. The
deciding factor was whether you had corrosion on surfaces not vulnerable
to impact damage.

Did take the car to a Mazda dealer, they took pics and sent them off to
Mazda.
Should hear in a few days.

Very common on late MX-5s, so go back to Mazda. They replaced thousands
of 'em under warranty.
