TS 1.8 Version Owners Alloys
To all owners of the 1.8 2ZR-FE with the 17" alloys.
i started to get corrosion near the centre of alloys and bumps so decided to take it into toyota dealer since my car is less then three years old and under warranty. the two back alloys problems are very visible but two in front only slightly. But good news as the guy inspecting it managed to get the go a head from his boss to order a brand new set of four alloys!! So tomorrow i will have new set of alloys. I just thought i give you all heads up as supposedly a common problem.... |

"Yeah when i worked at Toyota we used to change loads of lexus and toyota wheels. As stated above it must be costing them a fortune!! " "Yep as above if they corrode within expected 'life' your dealer should replace them - Lexus had major problems with the IS200 wheels corroding and are still replacing already replaced one to date - must be costing them a fortune" "All dealers have to warrant wheels as they should last the life of the car :) aslong as you havent curbed or buckled them" |
