Hey guys,
I bought these wheels about a year ago ago and I have had them on the truck all summer. I have been pretty good about keeping them and the truck washed once a week or so. I also switch out to another set of wheels for off roading, so these ones are true street queen wheels.
Anyways, I was washing the other day and I noticed that all four wheels are developing this etching/corrosion on them. Here are the pictures. You should be able to see the little flakes/chips. I clean the wheels with Meguiars chrome wheel cleaner and a soft brush.
The wheels are made by KMC, who apparently does not have a phone number. I contacted an authorized dealer, and they said that there is not much they can do about it. Long story I am not happy about it.
What can I do about this? How can I prevent any additional etching or corrosion on them?
