Hello all, just wondering if anyone else has experienced the deterioration of the alloy wheel coating. As you can see in the attached photo, it is pretty bad! Its the same on all four wheels! Common problem perhaps?

Common enough that Suzuki was paying to have them refinished. Don't know if they will still do that, it's been a while ago.

Got mine refinished prior to my 36k warranty lapsing. Peeling sas barley noticeable then, but Suzuki honored it!

It's very common on the 18 inch wheels, regardless of Kizashi vs. Kizashi Sport wheels. If you're out of warranty, you'll just have to get them repainted somewhere. Mine were all fine until an auto body shop detailed my car after repair work. Whatever they used really messed up my original paint on the wheels. After I complained, they repainted and clear-coated my wheels. They are a darker color now, but the paint coating is thick so I'll probably never see this issue again.

Does anyone know what the OE color code is for 18" double 10 spoke wheels? I'm going to be repainting mine this year and really like the OE color.

You can ask your dealer regarding the paint code.
