I actually agree with that!

humm... for PW i think #1 or #3... i kinda like the clean look for whites.

option two as i have that as well but my center is gun metallic. just a word of caution its a pain to keep satin black lip clean

second option would be number 3

Stay classy... Polished w/MS = win.

I agree

Kinda hard to get detailed on this pic but it will give you the idea

:tup:

boost I cant thank you enough... it wont let me rep you anymore.. can some people please rep him for me ?!?

Repped!

Chuck, I really like the idea of the black lips with the matte gunmetal centers.

I know my wheels are not the same as yours but will give you a better idea hopefully. These are painted satin black lip and gunmetallic center.

Can you show a pic of the staining? You might just be able to polish it out yourself instead of going to great lengths and money to redo them.

Oh do please provide us with some advice. I have some haze on one wheel, and the other wheels have hairline scratches from the wintertime sand (no choice since even in late Spring to early Summer we still have sand all over the place).

Mine are formula silver. When asking about the Phantom style, I was told that it looks good, but makes the wheels look small.

Not to go too much off-topic, but it's not that different from how you would fix your paint.

I would start with some good wheel cleaner like Sonax, then give them a good claying (you can even use the wheel cleaner as lube, but your clay will dissolve).

Then take a good polish (as the rims aren't bare aluminum, you can use polish made for paint).
Depending on the damage you can use just a fine polish or a more aggressive polish followed by a finer polish.
To make it easy on yourself you can use a Mother's mini powerball/cone (but don't use their polish).

If the damage is more severe, you can always step it up to wet-sanding them and re-polishing them as described above with aggressive and then fine polish.

Thanks! What is described as severe? Mine is a bit of a haze and a bit milky in some spots. The clearcoat is still good, and it is not peeling.

Sounds like you should be fine with some fine polish.
(I would use M205, but there are a lot of good products out there from our sponsors)

the volk lips are anodized and have a clear coat on them.. polishing them may make it look better but I do not believe it would look uniform
