ok... as some of you know my car was wrecked about a year ago (thanks mom) and one of my konig rhythm's was busted. after a year of searching I found a wheel (thanks DTN) to replace my broken one... well actually two. The guy sends em usps and after about two weeks they hit my doorstep today... i open em up and it looks like worms have been crawlin all over the rim of the wheels. This shizz is nasty looking and honestly wont come off. I have used mothers aluminum polish... plain ol metal polish, a dremel tool... nothing will get this stuff off. my question is, does anyone know of any REALLY GOOD cleaning compound... im talking eat this shizz off the wheel (of course without damaging the finish). thanks guys

 

well first off who helped you with the rims?..... ME BUNGHOLE so give credit where its do beotch. and how can u get me mixed up with dtn? thats like getting a spoon and a fork mixed up.

is it just dirt or stained? you need a cleaner not a polish or even try a degreaser

 

can yoo post a pic of that rim?

 

sry... thought it was DTM... my bad. SILENTSECRET HELPED ME WITH THE RIMS..... THANKS BE TO HIM

bump cuz i couldnt edit above post... here are some pics.....









sorry for the low quality pics... my digital isnt the best. i have NO idea what this stuff is but it really doesnt want to come off.

 

Looks like Mineral or water stains of some sort.

You try Goo Gone?

 

nah not yet... but i used CLR on em... yea no go, the stuff just wont come off man... i emailed the guy and asked him what was up but he hasnt emailed me back yet. if this stuff doesnt come off within the next couple of days im gonna file against him with paypal... he said they were in mint condition/very good condition... he also said there was no curb damage... so i would say this guy basically ripped me off... and if thats so... HE SHALL FEEL THY WRATH haha

EDIT: also... this stuff feels like its under the protective coating... and they really look like tapeworms or something, its just hard to explain... if anyone has any input on how to fix this problem or what steps i need to take to get my friggin money back... speak up yo

 

it looks like clear coat has some crack, you know like old clear coat crack on furniture

 

i sent out an email to konig today... im gonna see about sending the wheels to them and just having the lip re-finished... it will pry end up costin me a pretty penny tho...

 

could always talk to some people who specialise in repairing rims.

I have talked to these guys about repairing my Enkeis

you gotta sand that stuff down.
