U just bought these and they were great, but someone or the shop allowed brake fluid to stain some of the finish on the inside of the rear lips. from 5 feet away, it just looks like dirt, but the finish is stained isolated areas on the rear rims. There is no pitting or chipping. my loss, your gain if you are looking for something for a nice driver and not show quality. $400.........here are pics of the worst spot super close up and from 5 ft...more pics below

 

pictures?

also, where did you buy your billet grille from? I haven't found them anywhere on fleabay or otherwise.

 

sorry, I didnt get the pics, I came down w the flu yesterday. I'll shoot some tonight. My grill came from airbagit.com

 

Color chrome or black

 

Chrome , includes lugs

 

So, like this, but covered in brake fluid?

 

I def wouldn't say covered, there is just staining on the lips. I'll take a pic and show you.

 

Have you talked to anyone about possibly polishing out the defects or gotten a cost to rechrome??

Probably better off than 'giving' these wheels away, but just a thought....

 

Yep...replating is very very very pricey, 1200-1400 were the estimates I got. We have tried polish to no avail. All in all they are nice rims, I'm just being honest that they wouldn't work for a true show car, but 90 pct of anyone looking at them won't notice.
