White Wheels

Hi,

I have a 2002 MCS with white alloys - today i was out driving, then suddenly the tyre went completley flat, so quick that the runflat light didnt even have a chance to come on!!

So.. the RAC came out and just reinflated it so that i could drive to the tyre garage.
I told the bloke that I had a problem with one of my runflats on my mini. The first thing he said was "do you have white alloys?", apparently its quite a common occurence for the seal to break on the wheels of white alloys because of corrosion problems?

Has anyone else had this problem?
I'm now going to have to buy a new tyre (the 2nd one in a week!!)
