Default New Wheels

I think I need new wheels
I was cleaning the car today and have noticed a slight bubbling on the spokes of the wheels - looks similar to rust under paint work
Also the corners of the wheels appear to be having problems as the brake dust will not come off, looks like black specs
I am sure I read something similar happening to someone else
Has anyone had similar probs? Did Honda replace your wheels?
HELP!


Anthony

Ive got some slight bubbling on mine too. It seems worse on the fronts. How bad do they need to be to get replaced ? Can someone post a pic please so I can compare.

About the ingrained brake dust, I just use Autoglym Clean Wheels and leave it on for a minute then wipe off with a clean sponge and water. It did the trick on mine anyhow.

It was only starting on my two front (and not too bad), and a slight hint on one of the back ones but they repaced all 4.
It sounds like Honda UK are going to get lots of requests in the next few weeks for New Wheels Hope there is enough in the UK.
