| You'll find it very much dependent on the quality of your dealer.

| VRStu's got it in one. I got a new alloy with no hassle whatsoever from Glasgow dealer. Yet, dealer in Hamilton would'nt even take the bother to look at the wheel - just said it was a wear and tear issue and not covered by warranty. Incidentally, I also got a new seat cover under warranty from the Glasgow dealer, when, once again, the other dealer refused for the same wear and tear reason. So, get some feedback from the guys in here who are in your neck of the woods before proceeding.

| Yeah we had a similar car in the other day with a corroding wheel. Like Stu said, depends how good the dealer is in all fairness.
