It could be brake dust ? The car is mint but the wheels as you can see are not the backs of the wheels are the same as the fronts.


P.S all 4 are the same

It could have been a bad refurb...if it's not done well then they will blister and rust within the year....But that is bloody bad.

That will be over use of alloy wheel cleaner. It's a nightmare. Never touch the stuff.

Yep alloy wheel cleaner is a no no...it wrecks the alloy...or the cheap stuff you buy in halford/motor world will.

Christ .. never seen one that bad before - you drive through acid rain or use brake fluid to clean the wheels or something Mark?? :gayfight:

My bet's on overly harsh alloy cleaners too ...

I use autoglym on the car but fairy liquid on one of those sponges with plastic netting around it on the wheels. Nothing more harsh than that with a bit of elbow grease.
