How long you had them, if not long, you should get in touch with keskin about replacement caps!

Phew, sorry misread your origininal post

I dunno mate, i'd get in touch with keskin and say to them surely they shouldnt corrode....if they say they cant help, ask for a price on a new center caps and also find out a price on getting the caps refurbed. Compare the 2 and go for the cheapest. If theres not much differnece in price, just go for a new set.

It pays to complain, as my Nan says

Apparently, the laquer used on Keskin's wheels isn't the best (maybe they get it from the same place as BBS

).

You could always strip off the corroded laquer with some Nitromors, and polish the corroded bit on the centre cap.
