Have you tired using some Mag/ Aluminum polish? Maybe that in combination with some rubbing compound would do the trick.

no i haven't yet but do you think that will get rid of it?

you probably have to completely repaint it, its under the clear on the aluminum, mine are terrible, im going to sand down and redo mine in my own design

Yeah, you're stuck. Buying new wheels or having these refinished are your only options.

powdercoat them. chrome will look good but it may run you close to 300 .. very durrable though. im doing it with some of my rims

Here's my help...

as i said in the othere ther thead you can strip the clearcoat and then you would have to paint them or polish them

agreed^^^ id say strip them and polish them.

can i strip them and repaint them myself or is this something that should be left to the pros?
