19 inch wheels corroding

<< < (2/2)

howardsathome:
Porous OEM wheels are not unknown. Big problem on Metros in the past.
Also instances of poor paint quality, particularly if required finish changed, ie 'Limited Edition' on run-out models.
My Wife's 2014 Mazda 2 'Venture Edition' (run-out of the previous shape) has silver paint pealing off wheels to reveal Black Primer below! 

Anchorman:
A porous body was a big problem on Metros. Things have moved on a bit in the last 20 years.

MikeTB:
I had a problem with the original wheels on my Probe V6 (Mazda in all but Bodywork).
One wheel needed air about once a month. Put a can of Tyreweld in the wheel and never had any further problems even after a couple of tyre changes.

Trevor F:
Just a quick update, Mazda have agreed to replace all 4 wheels.
My faith restored. Car will be passed over to my wife next year enabling me to get myself a new CX5  :)

Taff93:
I am in UK, 2015 sportnav Awd, my 19" wheels started to corrode after 15000 miles and Mazda dealer replaced all 4 free.
