I wonder if anyone had experienced with corrosion inside their 16"Fiat alloy wheels caused by the puncture protection fluid? When I bought my new van 4 years ago I was offered to have some puncture protection fluid put inside the wheels. In less than 4 years I had 2 wheels leaking around 3mm behind the valve.
The valves are brass and react with the alloy being help by the fluid. Same problem you find on sailing boats.After cleaning all the wheels I found deep pitting around the valves. Can't understand why they use brass valves...
