Turini's Corroding

[russ_0016]

Tried all sorts to get rid of it, but in the corners of the spokes there is pitting. Only happened on the fronts... Here's some pix

By the way the car is washed once a week without fail! Surly this shouldn't happen?

Unless anyone has some idea's, looks like time for a refurb, or might buy some 17" turini's but am i right in thinking the renault centre caps dont fit? even tho there the same wheels because they weren't bought through renault?

Are you still within the warrenty period? Essentially they should be replaced if they are faulty? Worth asking Renault.

 

[thedoc]

have you tried using a clay bar on them?

 

[russ_0016]

No clay bar and its just come our of warrenty? But it aint happened over night maybe if i kick up enough fuss?

So whats this clay bar all about thedoc?

Really...??? Mines going into Renault tomorrow to have a new steering wheel..

Jon, are you sure about the wheels being replaced under warranty.. as mine are shagged..

sometimes the clay bar gets rid of sh>te on the wheels that washing cannot remove..

Never had to try it on a Renault but a friend got all 4 wheels replaced on his Lexus last year under warrenty because of corrosion. Worth asking? Essentially its a part on the car that is faulty, so should be replaced. Knowing Renault they might say wear and tear though. Worth an enquiry though.
