| K I got questions but no pics. Charging my camera battery  So my rims have what look like dried water marks but considering washing and drying them doesn't get rid of the marks I assume its like oxidation. Any remedy for this. I'll get pics up as soon as I can if it doesn't make sense. | |

| you gotta be careful with rims when you use some sort of wheel cleaner. Most wheel cleaners are acidic and tend to eat away at any protective coating the wheel might have. Some stuff you can't let sit on the rim at all while some you're supposed to. | |
