Has anyone experienced internal corrosion on their alloys? I have black wheels fitted as part of the black package on my 2 year old dynamic. The tyres have never been off the car until recently when I had what I thought was a slow puncture. My local tyre dealer found the problem was corrosion on the inner edge of the wheel (opposite side to the spokes) where the edge of the tyre seals to the rim. The outside edge was fine but it was protected by the black paint. He cleaned up the corrosion and applied some sealant and all was good. One month later the same thing happened with one of the other wheels so I took it to the tyre dealer and lo and behold it was the same problem. The car was in for a service the following week and I got them to check the remaining two wheels which they did and found corrosion on both. Photographs were taken and a report prepared for LR and the car booked in for a warranty replacement of all four wheels. That was 4 weeks ago and the car is due to go in this Wednesday for the wheels to be fitted. So I talked to the dealership today to check everything was set up and ready only to be told that LR do not believe this is a warranty issue - WHAT! The dealership are behind me and are giving me a loan car while they work on LR to convince them it is indeed a warranty problem. How can it not[/b] be a warranty problem when the tyres have never been off the car? Very disappointed in LR's response but am hopeful the dealership will sort it for me![b]
