purple highline monster 0 Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 do you mean the outside edges? if so you can wire brush them and paint them with hammerite siver or even heat resistant paint, just try not to get any on the disc surface itself, wire brushing usually cleans them up and improves the look for a while anyway untill they get wet again!

SankysVR6 1 Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Thats ushally caused by alloy wheel cleaner, or the car's been stood for a while in the wet Link to post Share on other sites
purple highline monster 0 Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 mine always go orangey when i wash it even if i dont use wheel cleaner, a qick blat and some heat and friction gets rid of it and they never usually discolour unless its been standing ages which is never! or washed- often Link to post Share on other sites
