Bellone wheel corrosion

[Yellow]

The thing here is won't it just happen again? There seem little point in changing the wheels unless Citroen has fixed the problem otherwise in a couple of months you will be back to square one.

And our car is six months old and no corrosion on our wheels.

All i can think is that somewhere along the line there was a duff batch. My car never went out in the snow and salt as I used my landrover. The other thing is, if we don't get them changed, Citroen may not bother to get the problem sorted. six of one and half a dozen of the other situation methinks

Thats a good point, fingers crossed that it was a duff batch of wheels.

Result.....Citroen have agreed to replace all 4 of my wheels, should get it done next week, assuming that the wheels are in stock with Citroen

Is this happening to all bellone wheels, irrespective of the colour, or only on certain of the colours?

(My silvers seem to be fine, underneath their "protective coating" of grime)

[John S]

So far its only the blacks as far as I know

[X_DrN]

The whites too! Mine are anyway.

[John S]

Have to taken it back to dealer to look at...get them to take pics & send to Citroen

[X_DrN]

Already done, just waiting for the reply.

[John S]

Depending on how long ago it was it might be worth chasing them up, that's what I had to do

i've noticed that the citroen badge in the middle of my alloys is rusty/corroded, but i have bought it second hand from a dealer, although its still under warranty. maybe worth a trip to citroen?

Are you sure? I thought the centre cap was plastic.

Nice shiny new wheels fitted today, now all they need is a good coat of polish to protect them

Anyone know whether New Bellone Wheels have had the corrosion issue sorted? I was wondering because I wanted to buy a set for my Black 1.4 DS3 and it would be a shame to buy a new set just to have them corroded within months. Do you think it is worth the risk or should I keep my 16's?

No mark on my new ones after 3 months but it is summer
