This is good news indeed, S2000Krazy, as I have exactly the same problem. However, Bristol Honda very kindly looked at my alloys the other week and said: "One alloy would be eligible for replacement now, and the other three are going. Bring it back in the winter when the corrosion has developed and we'll do it for you."
And my right two alloys are badly kerbed (there was a thread on here about it, I got in a road rage incident with some lunatics near Coventry, I was lucky to get away with two kerbed alloys TBH!
), but they didn't say a thing. I suppose it depends on the dealer.
Oh, and did I mention that my g/f took it in, and was served by a "very helpful man"? Without wishing to sound sexist, I think the feminine touch helped there. I'd probably have been told to "bog off" if I'd tried it!

Lawyer types will confirm / whatever that when you have anything replaced in a warrantee situation the original period applies. e.g. I just had my dehumidifier swapped out - no argument - a month before the end of the 1 year warrantee. If it goes again I am into repair and shipping costs.
The Honda warrantee limit is 3 years. You can pay for it to be extended and I *think* this then applies also to the alloys. The corrosion limit of 6 years doesn't apply to wheels, only to the body paintwork and you'll find they exclude external effects such as stone chipping.
This was a low cost solution. Each new wheel costs only a few quid to Honda! It has to be done only once per car generally. Not every owner is aware. The re-engineering solution would no doubt have cost a lot more - as with suspension bushes ...
