Default Corroded Wheels

Hi all,

My 2007 is suffereing from corroded wheel centre caps so I've put in a warranty claim, and I can't see any problems with them paying out.

I also understand the actually alloys corrode as well and have found a few thread on it, however, none of them seem to describe or show pictures of what it actually looks like.

If anyone who has had their wheels replaced can talk me through what to look for, or even better, stick up a few pics, I'd appreciate it much very.

Thanks,
Dan

Dont have pics, but they'll look like bubbles under the paint, or if its on a polished surface, the laquer will bubble and go a milky colour
