Due to the texture my first thought was bearing grease, but it would be odd to happen on all four at one time. My assumption is maybe brake fluid.?. But whatever it is, it seems to have permanently stained the chrome finish on all 4 wheels....can brake fluid do that? I really am confused by this because it happened simulateously on all 4 corners. Help!
Guaranteed if you applied too much lubricating oil to your lugs when installing your wheels that could be it. It might have leaked from the lugs onto your wheel. I had a clear / greasy type residue on my wheels shortly after installing new ones.
I used Nevr-Dull and it came off very easily. If it's not still try applying some chrome polish and see if it comes off.
