took my wheels off today and found that they are being eaten away from the inside....apparently BK chrome wheels do this
Luckily it hasnt spead to the front but the inner wheel (when you look through the spokes) looks crap. This part is not achrome plated or anything and just appears to be silver paint. What i am thinking is wet and dry, fill where i need to, prime and spray?
I have done a search on here and that seems to be the way that people deal with curb marks on the front of the wheels so is it the same?
Need to get this sorted before donny, Cheers, Steve

Hope that does happen to my Kruz chrome wheels. Did you once in a while take off the wheels and also wash them inside? I do it to prevent rust.

cheers.
yes wheels were taken off every weekend and cleaned. i rang up and they said they have had numerous chrome wheels back, its to do with them being single plated like all of bk and wolfrace chromes. If you have tripple plated (very expensive) chromes then this would not really happen.
I have decided i am doing the inside of the wheel black now, i'll let you know how i get on

How would I know if it is tripple plated or not?
