E90 320D Efficient Dynamic Alloy Wheel Corrossion

[Steve vRS]

Any one else's alloys bubbling?

the dealer has said mine have been refurbished which is not true. It is a lease car with a full history (every service, tyre repair and replacement etc.) so that can be verified.

Just wondering if it is just me or they all do that sir.

What year? I have seen bubbling on some early E90 wheels in the centre area around the nuts. Had them refurbished (OEM finish).

Ok just noticed this is a 2011 car, I guess there are environmental and manufacturing variables but it seems odd to see this for a younger car.

Mine are OK - 2010 car.

I have some truly horrendous early E90 wheels which I use in winter.
I can only think the previous owner kept them at the bottom of a salt mine.

Mine's a 58 plate with about 105,000 miles and the factory 17" wheels are pretty much spotless, though for the last few winters I have run it on 16" with winter tyres so the 17s have been spared that.
