Have you tried vinegar. I use it when I get the occassional preimptive airstike from enemy birds. It takes some elbow greese but eventually it will remove the stain when used also with a polishing agent like Menzerna. It might work on your wheels.

 

Tears are rolling down, the guys who sold you the wheels shouldve told you. Ive bought all my wheels from wheelsdirectonline and those guys like know im an idiot lol and specify everytime to use soap and water on my wheels. I am very surprised that the guys from the shop you bought them from didnt tell you. Well I will say good luck man, on my old hres I got a stain on the lip similar to this, but was able to polish it out.

PS: I know your pain with the lips, b/c I had to do the same for a bent lip on the hre's once, I felt like they bent me over and took advantage of me that day.

 

your best bet now would probably be to have someone wet sand / repolish the crap out of it

 

Should I get new Lips for $900 w/o Disassembly and Reassembly or get all 4 stripped and repolished for the same amount so they can match ???

 

I have no opinion on this since I am not a wheel guy, but I feel really bad you have to go through all this trouble now. Sorry, man.

 

Hey Bro, I surfed around and finally got something from Autogeek.net it's called Flitz Metal Polish, Fiberglass & Paint Restorer<----good stuff, I got about 80% of the stain off my rims and the remainings are deeply messed up. You can use it with either Mothers PowerBall Mini Polishing Tool or Flitz Polishing Ball. This should help your friend's issue.

 

Thanks, I'll let him know!
