It can't be stone chip damage either cos it's starting from the wheel centres

....Stone chips can fly and damage anywhere. I actually witnessed this one happening : -
JPC:
It can happen around the recess for the wheel bolts too,you'll get them sorted lynsey
Lynsey:
Thanks - hope so!
Gonna take him over the stealers next week on passing - let you know how I get on!
Merlinman:
Keep us posted please, Lynsey - my Charlestons are just shy of two years old (13k) and look perfect - although I knew when I specced them that they were likely to go the way of some Monza 18's, having a similar diamond cut finish.
Reugular washing with Meguiars, dry off with microfibe towel and 3 monthly 3 coat Poorboys is what I've been doing and like you I take a bus to the kerb :grin:
My previous March '06 Steel Grey GTI which went to Yan on here still has its original wheels as far as I know and I suspect Yan is as fastidious with them as I was; however there seems to be no hard and fast rule with the worm - other than physical damage to the lacquer?
My car's a keeper and if the worm appears after the warranty expires, I reckon they'd look pretty smart in single colour anthracite?
Good luck on getting yours replaced :happy2:
