Default corrosion on compomotives?

Now call me a cynic, but am i right in thinking i have every reason to be slightly agitated that the set of 18mth old Compomotives have started to corrode on the ibiza? Bearing in mind the car has actually been off the road in a garage for a year the back wheel has started to corrode.

Does anyone know what warranty they have?

Ive got the receipt for the wheels from compomotive but doesnt say anything about the warranty, so if anyone can help me out thats great

its not martins fault, he is a supplier not a producer of the wheels, just goes to show that even expensive quality wheels have shit finishes

Altho there was the odd couple of rarer VXR models that were fun to drive etc both having good mods that worked well. The owners of those two cars knew the score with them ie more akin to kit cars etc insted of what most of the other owners seem to think of them being ie thinking because they are hand built it means they've gotten them selves an Aston martin style marque

its ok, he drives a Honda, which are undoubtedly the best most reliable cars on the planet so maybe the vx220 wont bother him if it breaks every other month
