| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The wheels/rims on my vw gti 25th year edition (only 1500 built in the us) is corroding because of the excessive amount of dust brake sticking to the walls and surfaces of the "special" oem bbs wheels. there are at least 200+ cars affected by this default. (source: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=569321 ) vwoa doesn't offer any solution to that problem and "recommends" to clear the wheels more often. i clear my wheels each week! *ak |
