There is no 'warranty' on wheel corrosion or buckling on AUC cars, regardless of whether they are OEM wheels or otherwise. However, that is not the same as if the wheels were already corroded and buckled prior to sale.

If a dealer chooses to repair corroded wheels on an AUC car that was purchased recently, that would be a 'goodwill' claim as opposed to an official BMW warranty claim.

If the dealer were to supply an AUC car with aftermarket alloys, and the suspension were to fail thereafter, that supplying dealer will still have to honour the warranty claim, as by selling the car via the AUC program they are in effect validating the mechanical competence of the car as sold
