If that's a clear coat on top, you have a problem. If the rims are not clear-coated, Mothers mag and aluminum polish and some elbow grease will fix it (do NOT use the Mothers on clear-coat). If clear-coated, they may have to be stripped and re-coated. I have a similar problem with the aluminum wheels on my truck.

My thought is that they are clear coated. I think the stuff they use to rebuild the Alaska Highway may have been what caused this because many days we ended up following a water truck watering down the dirt they had just spread to pack it down.....
Bummer! I've decided to live with the truck wheels until I can't stand it any more (very unlike me).
