Why? Looks like corrosion which shouldn't really happen on any part of the wheel.

This is a perennial Honda problem. replacements will go scabby too.

Get a 'contribution' from Honda & get 'em powdercoated.


I was admiring Pie N Chips Anthracite powder coated 01 OEM wheels on Friday. They are standing up to winters 200% better now!

I too went in with my 04 wheels of which one is pictured below.



I was warned to expect a warranty claim refused as this was "ageing" rather than corrosion. "Ageing" in a 2 year old wheel ? I wonder what else "ageing" can be used to cover off.

Rather than getting into a one legged arse kicking contest at the service desk, I await Honda UK's response to the photos that the dealers took with interest.
