For the last 15 years or so my wife and i have enjoyed the privalige of owning several mercedes benz cars,and at the moment we have a CLK and an A-class. But i have to say that the CLK we have at present although a wonderful carlokks very shabby indeed because of corrosion of the wheel rims. The car is an X reg 2000 Avantgarde which we bought from new and has ony covered 32000 miles and is regularly serviced by the main agent.Afriend of ours has an L registered 3 Series BMW which has covered 200,000miles without a mark on the wheels,Why? I don't accept that 'outside influence' has that much of a part to play and I do think that Mercedes should be accountable for inferior quality wheels,if BMW can do it why not Mercedes.I am not very pleased.What do you think the company should do about it?
