Those spokes look pretty pitted already. What did you try, and did it improve it at all?

polished aluminum or coated? If polished, probably acid etched and need to be polished out.

They look a lot like they were acid etched and will require refinishing. Meg's M105 might help but will be a good deal of work.

:spot ** I had the very same problem with terrible water spots on my rims and believe me I tried everything that I could think of and finally found the solution**



** BRASSO **



** METAL POLISH FOR BRASS, COPPER & CROME **



It even worked on my Aluminum Rims! Wow! Do they shine now!!!

Those are Volks right? Which one's? CE28N's one piece? I used Meg's Swirl X on my andoized GTS and they looked great! Just don't use anything too harsh or you will ruin the finish. Try a paint polish to be safe.



BTW, I didn't have any spots, just minor swirls. Maybe Meg's ultmate compound to remove the spots if Swirlx doesn't help. Good luck.

Actually, I believe those are the stock G35 Coupe wheels made by Rays.
