bmw sportline 5-spoke "star" wheels

orcomma · 04-01-2013, 06:52 AM

I left my car for 2 weeks with salty wheels standing and now the centre area on two of them have corroded

(ps that scratch is from my clumsy attempt at scraping off what I thought was dried salt - turned out to be corrosion)

This was not good. I have wheels model 412 to Urban Line and on which there are marked "China". The rims seem to be of lower quality than a few years ago.

You should request replacement under guarantee...

aint no way BMW UK will pay for a replacement wheel for that, people struggled to get replacements for the E46 cracking wheels issue
