Stock rims paint chipping SOLVED!!!

[DrAsperigus]

So I posted a while back that the paint had been chipping off of my stock P5 rims. I went to the dealer a few weeks ago and pointed it out to them. They said they would check into it and get back with me. So...they never called. I called them twice and finally got a hold of the shop manager who was sorry for the delay and said he would check for any TSBs on fixing the rims. Well, he called me today and said he ordered some new rims for me at no charge!!!

Anyone with this problem, don't settle for anything less than replacement rims. However, an important note is that they prolly wouldn't have replaced them if I had had my wheels rotated by anyone else but them as this was their first question when I first presented my case.

did you have the polished rims?

 

[DrAsperigus]

No, just the silver/gray painted ones.

do you have a picture of them? cause if they're looking good then i'll buy the rims off you since mine are hella messed up.

 

[DrAsperigus]

If I can talk them into letting me keep the old ones, I will prolly paint the old ones white and use the new ones as winter rims er something.

I hope they let you keep the old ones. You could also paint them and sell them. You will make some pretty decent cash.

there is no way in hell they would let you keep them. stuff replaced under warranty gets shipped back to mazda for inspection

 

[DrAsperigus]

Well, here's hoping!

Pics please and did he reference a TSB number? I have some chips, so I am curious to what extent you had.
