Wheels are Stained!!

[95rcobra]

Anybody else have this problem with the stock factory rims. I just got my 03 recently and from new the top surface of the rims (with the satin feel) are all stained with what look likes water marks or acid rain marks. they have been there since the car had 4 miles on it. I have tried a few things to get rid of it with no luck.
its etched right into the surface of the wheel. should I bitch to Ford and have them replaced or will they just blow me off. anyone else have this on their stock wheels. I am planning eventually to get the chromies but I did want to keep the factory rims too.


Thanks, 95rcobra.

Have you used any cleaners on them? They are sensitive to some bleach type wheel cleaners. Good Luck

If the wheels were like that when you took delivery of the car I would go back to the dealer.

Yes I have used wheel cleaners (polish not spray) that are safe for the clearcoat finish on these wheels and it does nothing. I am going to call my dealer tomorrow and see what they will do for me.

Thanks guys, 95rcobra.
