What's white worm?

its a common problem that effects polished face wheels. Appears behind the polished face as a squiggly white line.. thats where the term white worm comes from. If left it will just continue to grow. :nerd:

Glad they have sorted the wheels out for you.
I know what you also meen about the stone chips mine has quite a few now on the front. I even got a large stone chip this morning on the panel above the fuel filler flap in direct eyeline right down to the metal. When an idiot in a fiat came past on the hashed part of the road and kicked a stone up.  :angry:
