    Flaking Wheel Paint/Lacquer
    Cars affected:
    Evo's with OZ wheels as standard (Evo 4-6)

    Symptom:
    Paint/lacquer flaking from the back corner of the spokes or other edges.

    Problem and cure:
    This does affect some wheels more than others with the OZ Super Turismos (Evo 6) being particularly affected. The paint starts to flake from the corners, probably due to lack of lacquer coverage in those areas.
    Some people have had all the wheels replaced under warranty due to the paint flaking within a year of purchasing a new car. The alternative is to have the wheels refurbished.

    Approximate cost of repair:
    Refurbishment per wheel - approximately £50
