I am aware of a corrosion issue with the split five spoke UK design alloy and will inform Hartleys plus wait till the other three go then get a new set under warranty.

Just watch out when they balance the new wheels, the replacements seem to me to be "refurbished" - powder coated I think, rather than the original finish which was polished & lacquered, you used to see the polished bit, especially at the edge of the rim.
They don't look bad and may last longer, it's just that I don't regard them as flawless, and like I have posted previously, they took 3 times to get the balance right. One of the wheels now has a large number of balance weights on it. Also when I removed the wheels to polish the insides with "Poorboy's World" wheel sealant , some of the coating on the hollow inside of the spokes was already flaking off!
