Laquer Peel

As far as I know the Black Forge Wheels where not lacquered. If you go to Halfords you can buy a touch up or spray to repair your wheels. You require Halfords Satin Black paint

Morning mate!! I’ve just recently had all 4 Forged Alloys replaced under warranty for blistering under the paint and one small patch had actually lifted away. Have you got a pic of the wheel to see if it’s the same issue as I had??

Cheers, Marc.

Yeah, must agree, that looks like the lacquer has been added. Here’s a pic of my old alloy where the paint had lifted and there’s no sign of a layer of lacquer…..

Cheers, Marc.

Good Morning Brembo,

I had been reading your experience with wheel blistering and I have noticed same issue (photo attached) showing problem. Like yourself all my wheels are showing sign signs of bubbling and small blisters on the surface. The paint finish is very poor. Photos have been taken and Ford Parks Stirling are gong to raise issue with Ford. I hope like you I can get the wheels replaced under warranty, my car is also white and was registered in 2018. Thanks for letting us all know how you got on with your claim. Cheers Tom 

The black wheels are shocking quality(finish) The standard silver are much better.

The quality of the paint is shocking, should never have been put on the RS, you pay extra and you get crap wheels. I await outcome from ford to get them replaced under warranty.
