I just got off the phone w/ the Mazda dealership, and they said that they would replace them with another set of the same wheels. I feel like it is a problem with all of the wheels. If anyone else is having this problem, please post it. The dealership said that if enough people are having the same problem, the wheels could be replaced with a different type or something of that nature. :mad:

I would like to get a list of people who has this same problem, and maybe Mazda will get Racing Hart to recall these wheels and get a different kind

Mine too have small little chips. I didn't really touch them much, just figured it for normal and stored them for winter. If we can get new ones out of this I'm all about it. Put me on any list. My name is Chris Sobotkiewicz of Madison, WI...

I just bought an '02 P5 with only 23000 kms and the wheels are peeling. I'm first going to a dealer and then calling Mazda Canada.

That's great. 3.5 years later, this thread is updated with info about a protege5 rim, as opposed to the originator's mp3 rim...

warranty on the mp3 is out already I'm guessing? Otherwise take it to the dealer STAT!

I just bought an '02 p5 - private sale. Only 23k and warranty up in Nov '05. Just brought it into the dealer today - Westdowne Mazda in Etobicoke, Ontario Canada. They gave me 4 BRAND NEW SPANKING RIMS - no questions asked. I suggest you all do the same!!!
