Wheels under warranty - where do I stand
Edition30:
Are they the original wheels supplied with the car?

I had no issue getting my 3 of my monza II's replaced with only 3weeks of warranty left. At the same time I also had the cambelt + tensioner, water pump and timing chain replaced again all covered, but thats another story.

Could be tricky getting all 4 replaced under warranty. It's not just kerbing but also stone chip damage which can start the worm gradually spreading - In fact, anything which breaks the clear lacquer seal and allows moisture in.
As Edition30 says, it's essential that your original car came from an approved UK VW dealer and with the same wheels originally. I have direct experience of such problems.

Yes they are the charleston alloys that're optional extras with the GT's - I've had the car since day 1 from factory order!
It can't be stone chip damage either cos it's starting from the wheel centres - the centre caps are also fecked so will need to get these replaced too!
