Anyone seen any wheel corrosion or rust yet?

Hi all, I'm getting closer to the point where I'm ready to buy a used Cyberster, so would appreciate any input on the following.

Is anyone seeing any wheel corrosion starting at all as yet on the diamond cut GT wheels?

And, has anyone seen rusting anywhere else at all, around pressed holes under the bonnet for example or anywhere around/under the chassis?

These might seem silly questions to ask at this early stage, but my MG5 is rusting under the bonnet at just 8 months old and 5k miles. It has all the diamond cut wheels now showing corrosion too!! This was a cut priced run out bargain and is a workhorse, so although it's upsetting, I can cope with it, but need to know something selling for much more that is meant to be premium and I'll probably want to keep long term isn't going to give similar issues.

Look forward to hearing from you all.

I suspect you may not get many answers, the car has not been around long enough. I would not expect such corrosion on any car after 8 months unless you parked by the sea.

I have had my Cyberster GT for just over a month and love it, have driven several roadsters over the years and this is on a different level. My only (big) issue is that you cannot get replacement tyres in the UK.

I agree, but my MG5 is corroding after only 8 months!, so wanted to check to see if the Cyberster has any similar issues.

No signs of corrosion or rust on my 10½ month old Cyberster Trophy (bought 1-Oct-24). Used occasionally on some very salty roads last winter (far north of Scotland).

Did you wash the car regularly after driving on salty roads?
