Bit of a personal repost, but my 04 has corrosion on the inside rim of the wheels,
(all four), probably caused by brake dust left to attack them by the first owner.

Anyway has anyone had similar and had any luck with replacement under
warranty. Local dealer was uninterested when my 02 had oxidised rims.

So has my 05

I was surprised to find they are bare alloy, no paint, no laquer

I had to use fine wet and dry with WD40 to get the corrosion off the inner rims.

My old Boxster was seven years old when I sold it and the wheels were still like new!

I would also be very interested to know Honda's reaction to corrosion on the wheels where you can't easily see it.

 

My 05 wheels (Oct 05) are corroding on the outside face - not taken them to the dealer yet

 

Got service soon (a warranty must or I would not go there!) so may
try Dealer in Leeds and ask their opinion. After all you can see it from
the side view of the car!

Just got all mine replaced under warrenty

Mine had started to go on the outside of the rims but some corrosion had
started on the inside as well.

Sounds to me like a warrenty claim

 

Photo's please

 

I had my 03's replaced under warranty by the very friendly peeps in Hemel Honda.

 

Got photos but need help on putting them on here!

Got car booked in next friday for service at Leeds Honda (

 

Pictures of corrosion of R39H's wheels in an 04 car

I need to check my insides too

 

Thanks Sarren.

Two year old and 12K miles, quite bad if you ask me as you can see
this from the 'outside' of the car and the rest of the S is spotless!
