Wheel nut corrosion

[HoagieKat]

Is it possible to get the nuts changed under warranty for corrosion? Mine have almost gone black!! ( I noticed it while waxing my alloys... )

Nope.

They'll call it wear and tear. As they did when I pointed it out, and the paint on my arch being awful.

I asked Derby how it's wear and tear when I've got a 10-year-old Ford Fiesta with 110k on the clock which doesn't suffer the same problems, to which he replied "well, it's like comparing apples and pears, plus the car is lowered".

One big question, how come the tridion isn't coming to bits from the 'loads more stone chips' if the arches have taken such a beating from it.

Yep, had mine done on my Roadie

Then I bought some chrome ones as the steel ones will only rust again!

Re: Wheel nut corrosion

I had the same done on my roadie. Take it into them and get them to do it. Might be worth calling first to arrange it...

To be honest I wouldnt bother, the new ones will be tarnished within the week and in the same condition as the current ones within a month. Im on my 4th set now, I wont ask for any more I dont think. :censor:

Where did you get your chrome ones?

I fancy a set to complement my Roadsters security bolts, which have chromed heads.

I was just looking at those. I clicked back to this thread and see that great minds think alike! Lol.
