Mine only ever showed signs of corrosion from the inside which I believe is more or a water trap.

Re: Combatting Alloy Corrosion....
Part of the problem is the type of alu they use. At one time in the past. I owned a kenworth truck that had an Aussie kangaroo bumper on it. It was made of marine grade alu. It was highly resistant to salt corrosion. It had no coating at all and didn't need it. So in a nutshell we can blame the cheesy alu that bbs uses in their expensive corrosion prone wheels.

Re: Combatting Alloy Corrosion....
Hi peps.
Just had my 108's acid dipped, sand blasted... blah blah blah ... fully referbed & asked the guys opinion of this isue.
His suggestion was to have a outer rim sprayed super bright silver (AUDI Titanium silver) with the innards sprayed Porsche silver grey...
they look FAB!!! and because they're primed am advised will last far longer than the diamond cut finish...
Will try to post some pics this weekend
