I`m a regular Auto Express reader.

Lets get the AE watchdog involved. Give them links to our threads, explain the extensive nature of the issue and how it virtually affects EVERY S.

They`ll help I`m sure.

Should we?

cc - i work for the publisher (the ae guys sit 1 floor down from me apparently ) . i'll have a word with the ae guy soon (off for a few days now though so will have to wait)
best to have a list and how long 'approved' claims have been waiting. I've been waiting for ages and am wary of hassling honda in case they fob me off with new wheels that will have the same problem. I'd rather a more 'permanent' solution.

Great. Do it. We have a list that I believe Anthony is managing. We`ll get it all sorted....

Anthony?

6.5" front 55mm offset

7.5" rear 65mm offset

Mine have tiny corrosion at 2 years.

May try for new set before 3 years.

Karen's VTi alloys are fairly crappy at 3 years & 36K miles, but are too kerbed etc to be worth pursuing. So it's all Hondas, I presume.
