I have a question about my bottle cap rims... I noticed some white around the edges of the wheel, i took some aluminum pads and scrubed around the wheels and the white spread even more. Im wondering what kinda wheel is this? is it metal? Also, i have some fittipaldi rims doing the same thing, any cure for this white showing on thw wheel?
Also, i am in need of some flat bmw emblems that have a diameter of 3 1/16" that is about 1 mm thick. anyone know where i can get them, they are for the fittipaldi's.

thanks.

The wheels are aluminum. That's corrosion. They need to be repainted and clearcoated again. The emblems can be had from BMP www.bmpd.com or Bavarian www.bav.com I believe.
