Wheel trims have paint peeling off

[timothy]

Hi all I have a MG4 Trophy 23 plate and the wheel trim paint has started peeling off. Has anyone got any advice?

Have you had your car washed by these hand car wash places? It could be the chemical they use for cleaning alloy wheels and your alloy wheels have plastic covers.

 

[timothy]

No I wash them myself with just car shampoo

Do you use a jet wash?

Might be worth calling your dealer to see if they can be replaced under warranty.

 

[timothy]

No I just a hose pipe I’ve been to dealer just waiting to see want happens

Is that the new one in WSM? Hopefully they will be wanting to start of on the right foot with customers and you'll get good service. Let us know what you think of them.

 

[timothy]

Yeah it is the new wsm I will let you know what happens.

I see @MartinSEsr has a set of wheel trims for sale, if the worst comes to the worst. They may be a bit expensive for you though. Look in the classifieds, under the post about tyres for sale.

It’s an issue that I am seeing pop up quite a bit now. The pressure wash reasoning doesn’t make sense because (at least for mine) the peeling starts in the middle and not near the edges which is where you’d expect water ingress

I have a similar problem with wheel trims on a two year old MG ZS. I complained to MG service, but they refused a warranty claim, saying that it is a cosmetic problem which is only covered for 12 months. I have had several comments from people experiencing the same problem.

I had all 4 wheels replaced on my ZS after just under 3 years, no problem took about 4 weeks for replacements. Cosmetic paint inc wheels is covered for 3 years

Thanks, i'll do a new thread and I agree mine were expensive! But cheaper than Ebay! I'll re-think the price.
