Astra has similar wheels, the front off side has the same problem.

Just annoying. Too expensive to get them refurbished for the value of the car
Bl00dy alloy wheels are a nightmare, always causing problems, never had a problem with steel wheels that a bit of hammerite paint would not fix, but even as early as four years old some alloys leak under the tyre bead and need a refurb, diamond cut ones can look tatty after a few years as the clearcoat is p155 poor and chips easily then the white worm moves in underneath.
