    Reckon this is wheel corrosion?

    Normally happens in the centre of the wheels on the polished bits. Could've been a stone chip that's started to corrode though.

        You can only try. All of mine were swapped under warranty about a year ago but that was the corrosion around the centre caps. See what others think but I'd go to your dealer and show them.

          Is there any signs of broken paint? If not then go and speak with your dealer, this should be covered for repair. If not then it shouldn't cost that much to get sorted.

              Damn shame Phil.

              To me the right hand one looks like stone chip damage, but it's odd that the two overall shapes are similar! Plus the odds of getting two chips like that so close together must be astronomic unless they happened at the same time. Hope you find an easy and cheap solution.

                      The dealer seems to think it was from a stone or something and shouldn't get any worse, but said he would email the warranty dept anyway.

                      That reminds me I must send him an email

                        Have you shown them to the dealer WTF ? I thought Citroen were sometimes able to replace them even outside of the warranty period ?

                          Yep they replaced mine just out of my warranty, plus you've owned the car from new etc so could go in your favour!
