far Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 So less than a year of owning my 09 Q7 the wheels have started to corrode from the inside, the cars under Audi warranty - after much debate Audi are saying they will pay for them to be refurbished fully. Do you guys think I should settle for that or push for a brand new set of wheels? TIA FAR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you guys think I should settle for that or push for a brand new set of wheels? TIA FAR I'd push for new. My grandads mate had a similar thing happen on his Lexus a few years ago, he'd had it from new but was around 5 years old iirc. The Service manager brought up the state of the alloys in conversation, and swapped them for new. Unless you fancy a change of colour...

Colin-mkiv Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Refurb....in any colour you like.....gives you a bit of a one off edge. OE wheels are notorious for corroding, A good wheel refurber will apply more coats than they had on originally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
far Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 cheers guys, I dont particularly want any other colour other than the current colour however I would rather have new wheels than old! Am I asking too much or do you reckon I have a good case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I'd go for new and think its totally reasonable you should get new and not the set on the car refurbed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin-mkiv Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Must just be me then, but new ones are likely to do the exact same in 3 years or so. Without chance of a warranty swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powder coated will also probably do the same I'd be asking the question of the Audi dealer on where you'd stand going either route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
