My S2000 is coming up to 3 years of age and I will head to the local dealer in Slough in the next month or two for them to assess if I can get new alloys under warranty. I am fairly certain I will, so here's my question, for those of you having had this done - Do you get to keep the old alloys? If so, has anybody used them as an allday or winter set - perhaps with a different set of tyres?

What is going through my mind is that the alloys will probably take most of their damage in winter... It would be nice to have a bad weather set... Also, the factory fitted S02's are brilliant - in fine weather. However it is a bit of a bore to fork out

 

Don't usually get to keep the old alloys.
I think ianL managed to somehow, but don;t know of anyone else that has.

 

I was in the Slough dealers at the weekend having pics of the wheels taken for a warrenty claim and asked if i could have the old ones ,fraid not was the reply they get sent back to be refurb was the line I was told


Theres a surrey meet next week not far from you if you fancy it

 

Don't want to piss on ya fire but I doubt they'll swap ya 02 wheels at all.

 

Its under 3yrs old they are corroded so why wont the cover them

 

I had wheels changed on an MY99, car was just under 5 years old when they were changed.

Service manager even told me that it was being done under "Honda's own warranty" and refused my extended warranty documents when I offered them to him.

I'm pretty sure that on the quiet, Honda have increased the warranty on the wheels to 5 years.

Could be wrong however

 

IDLe* - I think there are enough threads about people having their alloys replaced under warranty.

MrV - when is the Surrey meet? (B-er they keep the old alloys...)

 

02's should be fine its the 01 they wont do, But in a great show of logic from Honda Uk they WILL do 00's ?

 

Next Tuesday night


Surrey meet

 

Ruckus - not sure about this. I bought my S (01/Y) about 3 weeks ago from a Honda dealer and they have agreed that they will change them.
