Ok, not exactly trashed, but there are water spots (or something) if you look closely. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I had these refinished a couple months ago and they were perfect, but now all have a couple of these little spots. It's on the anodized section.
Any tips on how to remove? Also what is the "correct" finish for the lug bolts. I've seen some cars with black plastic caps over them - is that from the factory or dealer? Is do they just need to be repainted every time I remove a wheel...

Steve, the wheel lugs from the factory did have black plastic caps. Most were shortly discarded. You can have the lugs silver cad plated which will be more durable or paint them silver and touchup after installation. I remember a thread on this subject and there were other suggestions for finishing as well. Al
