New Member - Needs New Alloys?

[iains]

Hello everyone - I bought my new IS 200 SE Auto a couple of months ago - Granite Sky with Auto. I absolutely love it.

However, I have noticed that the alloys are already 'pitting' along the leading edge of the spoke. Is this common? The dealers says he will replace all 5 wheels, so I guess this is a common problem?

What happens in 3 years time when the warranty ends.......

Yes, the alloy corrosion is common. The dealer will replace them with 'refurbed' wheels, which are much better than the orignal ones (powder coated i believe)...

You shouldnt have too many probs after then...

Oh, and welcome to the club...

The dealer should order new wheels if they are under warranty so you may get the problem again. If you get them refurbed in the future then they should be fine after that.

I'm still looking for costs on refurbed sport alloys. I have the standard "S" version alloys at the moment, which are in great nick
