hi

lee

my tsport did the same on all 4 make sure that you check all of them

what year is yours mine is a 02 52 plate.....

oh yeah say hello to South Shields for me.....

Corossion which may be causing your flaking is quite common with all Toyota/Lexus alloys, there are not many that don't, older ones tend to be re-finished. It's something to do with because they tend to polish them rather than laquer them - either that or because they tend to be made in Italy.

Hi there, mine is 02/51. Ive only just noticed it whilst i was cleaning them the other day. Gutted!!! Would they be covered under the warranty?

Anyway do you know South Shields well then???

I know of people with saxo's and clio's that have had this problem aswell, and they got changed under warraty. Unless they've been kerbed?

[Viper_7]

They will be covered on Warranty....I'm on my third set!

First set pitted badly on all four corners...second set the

front two started pitting...but I insisted they change all four

which they did....then I asked em to change the front one again,

as it was damaged on the rim when they put it on!

Yeh, I need to visit a dealer soon as mine has just reached the 2.5 years mark and I need to get all my odd & ends sorted before the warrenty runs out.

My wheels are a bit ropey and show flaking and corrosion - I've only kerbed the rim of one of the alloys and the corrosion is near the hub on that wheel.

Well touch wood I aint kerbed them in the 2yrs ive had the car, so I may get them to check the problem out when I take it in for its full service in February.......
