Re: stained

Not going to be able to do anything about the clear...but you can try a powerful rim cleaner for the brake dust although you will have to becareful since your clear is already deteriorating...

Re: stained

if you have any friends in the auto industry that work at a dealer, they probably have a wheel company that repais wheels like what you're talking about. check around if you don't want to do it yourself.

Re: stained

Some body shops will send you old wheel in and get you a refurbished one for about $100 a piece. They look good as new. I think they come w/warranty also.
