Do I have a reasonable corrosion claim?
In the pictures below you will see what appears to be some corrosion forming on the spokes of my alloys. I realise that it's not bad but my 3 year warranty expires in a month and I'm fearful that next winter (its a daily driver) will really wear them down by which time I can't claim and they will spoil the look of the whole car. If I pitch up to a dealer will they just laugh at me?

On the subject of wheels my fronts tyres are sp kojack on the inside edges (the ones you can't see until full lock) but there is still legal tread (just) on the outside edges. Is this pattern of wear normal or does it suggest alignments are out. I hate to put new boots on and have the tyres ripped to shreds within weeks!

Yep, I had all 4 wheels replaced for less than that on some wheels.

Always worht getting the geo checked and asjusted once a year. If only to ensure the bolts have not seized!
