So what are the odds that the dealer will replace one of the rims on my tsx se where the clear coat is peeling off? One of them is pretty bad around the center cap area. The other 3 are okay only showing minimal peeling.

 

If you are bumper to bumper and a good dealer relationship they might

They replaced a oem racing hart on my mazdaspeed miata back in 05. Dealer never asked a question

As far as my tsx almost 4000 $ worth of warranty work since November . Dealer does everything no question asked. Even did full brake flush as I complained of squishy pedal and resurfaced a rotors under warranty

 

Pictures of wheel? That sounds abnormal/defective.

 

Mazdaspeed miata? did you have the special edition turbo one?

and wow, your dealer is nice... mine wouldn't do shit for me.

 

Yeah I had the turbo 2004 one. Mazda in la was giving them away. Since Nc was coming out no one wanted nb. Msrp was 28 k , la dealers sold them for 18,500. Had that between my ap1 and ap2. Great cars. Had a 95 miata r back in the day. Wife had 2009 gt premium prht

My dealer is amazing
Never gives me a bill even when I expect them to
I am very surprised pleasantly so by their service

 

This is a pic of the wheel. It's. 2012 and is still under b2b

 

Hard to say. It is unusual but looks like damage from chemicals like road salt.

Asking won't hurt and it depends on your relationship with the dealer. If you live in an area where there are no road chemicals used then it will be easier to get this done under warranty but if you live in the rust belt then the question is "what is wrong with the other wheels that they don't look like this?"

 

Wow ur caliper

 

oh your the same guy who had the rusty caliper? did you drive your car into the ocean??

 

Lol

 

Probably alongside soupi

 

Yup Im the guy with the caliper. I only took it into the ocean up to the door handles. I didn't want to push my luck lol

 

It's hard to say... I mean I got lucky when I started seeing oxidation on my headlights the dealer replaced the pair, but it required approval from the regional parts manager... ymmv

 

wow... how do i prevent from rusting near the wheels???

 

Don't take your car into the ocean

 

Keep it clean and keep on top of preventitive maintenance. Wash regularly and apply a good coat of wax as necessary. If you live in an area with winter and they salt the roads, even a quick drive through car wash every week or two will do wonders for slowing down the damage.

Or move to Arizona.

 

^
He lives in Los Angeles brah

 

Ah, didn't see that when I was on my phone.

WTF? Stuff rusts in LA?

Then I'd stand by "move to AZ"

 

It doesn't

He's the same guy hat made post about putting mileage on his car hurts
Since it's a classic
And he doesn't want to do maintenance

Take his stuff with 3 lbs of salt


There are places in ca things rust
By ocean
He don't live there, trust me
