Roat Sub Zeros - Corrosion after 9 months??
EDIT: Rota not Roat (of course) - Can't spell - sorry!
Has anyone else got this coming through on their Rotas? (Bought through the Group Buy):
Only been on the car since Feb - will not come off with normal cleaning & I am not sure if using metal cleaner will damage the finish.
Not too happy to see this after such a short time - do like the look of the wheels though:

Thats normally caused by water getting under the laquer, probably due to small nicks/scratches.
Gonna happen to most polished rim cars and UK roads

I've got the same wheels, but gave them a good coat in Poorboys wheel sealer before I fitted them. Going to give them another coat at the weekend.
Have you been back to Rota and said to them, would be interested in the outcome.
S!

I am really pleased with the service from Julian at Rare Rims. We talked over the problem he has accepted that the wheels have a fault & has replaced them with gunmetal GRAs. All done with good grace and at top speed. The wheels will go back to Rota for checking. I agreed to pay for the tyres to be swapped as I have had 10 months use out of the Subzeros - that seemed fair.
I actually prefer the GRAs so I am very pleased with the way the problem has been solved. I highly recommend Rare Rims if you are looking for wheels!
Remember also that the originals were at the discounted group buy price - there is a Santa after all!!!
