Wheel centres

Post by Jalf » Mon Apr 11, 2011 5:15 pm

I noticed when I switched out my wheels that my winter wheels BMW centres had began to go cloudy at the edges, the regular ones have begun to deteriorate now too, anyone know of a way to stop this or a set of replacements that won't do the same?

By new ones from dealer & keep the invoice.

I seem to recall their parts are warrantied either for 12 or 24mths.

I changed for new ones in 2006 & got a free replacement set when mine went like that.........car is now on it's 3rd set albeit I have only paid for one set.

I'll have to go and get some fresh ones then, my brother had similar issues with his and the ones he replaced them with had a grey plastic edge on them, not sure how they held up, they were from BMW too so maybe they have changed the design a bit.

If not from a dealer, you could try Alloy Wheels Direct. It's where I got my spares from.
