Re: Rims help

Weird.. I haven't really seen that kind of damage around the center cap. The first picture almost look like there's literally chunks of the wheel missing. Regardless of the origin of the damage, you can take them to a body shop and they can refinish them for you. Not sure what that would run you as far as price, as I have no clue as to the extent of the damage. Still, 200 bucks for Si rims with new tires is a steal. Probably ran you an extra 100$ just in gas though

Lacessit is an unknown quantity at this point
Re: Rims help

Looks similar to my stock wheels, which leads me to believe it's salt corrosion. No idea on the cost, but they should be able to be refinished as stated above.
