Sounds like corrosion, the centre caps are always the worst for it, get them down to the dealers they shouls replace them under warranty for you no problem

Yep corrosion. Varies from dealer to dealer how much they'll try for replacing with HondaUK though.

Mine replaced all 4 wheels on Monday and I was only after one of em

Ditto. What began as a complaint to the dealer about white crud on the wheel centres, ended up with four new wheels under warranty ...
