172 Cup Wheels

[charlie172]

Does anyone know it the Speedlines on a 172 Cup have any sort of warranty on them? The reason I'm asking is because I saw one in a garage by me today and the wheels didn't look in the best of condition. They had bubbles under the lacquer and just generally looked a bit naff. Shoud be in better condition than that on an 03 plate surly.

they all do it, no warranty

Speedlines (different style) on my Civic have done exactly the same thing, metal corrosion from underneath the lacquer.

Cheap finish means cheap results mate.

Thats a real shame, considering how nice they look.

Alloys will be covered under warranty if it is corrosion, i have a few friends who have had alloys replaced under warranty due to corrosion and poor laquer deteration.
