can't believe the wheels on the 2 are corroding already! look sooooo bad!

how do i go about getting mr T to replace them???

[Fizz]

Tou walk into the dealership... say can i borrow one of your staff to look at my car.

Then you tell them to sort it out under warrenty as its a very very common problem which they would deffo have come accross before.

It's as easy as that... go get yourself some new wheels.. then do it again next year too

[Andie_M]

[msherry21]

I just like to call it well spoken :!Removed!:

Could you not get them refurbed properly at Toyota's expense rather than continously getting new rims with crap paint? just a thought.....I'll go back to the "proper" mr2 section now.....

[cfc1]

:!Removed!: can you post a pic on what your wheels have gone like,,so i can check mine out,,as it seems to be a common problem as there are regular postings on here about it...Do all mr2 s get wheel corrosion?????P.P.

[Andie_M]

you can spot it a mile off hun... they look as though there years old and not 8 months old! the laquer etc will be bubbly more than likely...

ill try get you a pic of mines tomorrow...

[cfc1]

It happens to ALL Toyota alloys... well, most of them.

[msherry21]

they corrode because Toyota didn't put any laquer on them in the first place or was it primer they didn't use, one of them anyway!

[1bloke1dog1mr2]

Welcome to the...'yeah, they all do that' club... when your mates look at your stunning car and you notice them looking at the wheels for a little bit too long!

Thinking of getting non-standard alloys, since every time I wash them a little bit more flakes off

[msherry21]

....."gives the car character"

[Penelope Pitstop]

:o just checked to see if any photos been added....i will check mine tomorrow :( P.P.

[cfc1]

PP.. you are looking for an uneven paint finnish whick looks like blisters on the surface. Check at the edges of the spokes.

They can be replaced any time during the three year warranty period and if they get changed just before that runs out (as mine were) you get another 12 months parts warranty

[Penelope Pitstop]

..thanks for that Les ,,i suppose i meant to say because there is no sign yet that they are corroding ,,does it mean that they arnt likely now to corrode or sometimes can it take a couple of years before corrosion can set in??? :( P.P.
