Title: VW Paint warranty on wheels
Post by: daz5182 on September 28, 2010, 08:17:55 pm
my wheels are starting to corrode quite a bit in places, the car has only done 33k and is a 56 plate, just coming up to 4 years old, it is a GT if that helps, how long is the paint warranty, i think it is poor that they are going already!

Cheers

The wheel warranty is the same as the standard car warranty ,3years
Unfortunatey wheels aren't covered under the paint/corrosion warranty

oh wel thought it might be worth a try, these BBS wheels are rubish compared to honda that I'm used to, will have to get myself some new ones when the tyres are worn out me thinks.

nah mate they are the standard GT 17"s that look ok but don't really float my boat if i'm honest, will just wear the tyres out and get some BBS reps me thinks.
