A friend of mine has some after market rims on her 2 door jk and it seems that the Florida sea salt infused air/rain is messing the rims up so bad that she wants new ones cause they look so crappy. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with salt proof or salt resistant 33'' rims. Also, does anyone know if there is a treatment or paste/tincture of some sort that will help with this. Thanks in advance. Trial and error are obviously outta' the questions so I turn to you....

After a month of having my new (polished alluminum) rims, I had salt marks all over them. I got the Mcguires Foam Polish Ball and spent about 45 min per wheel to shine them back up. That was the only thing that worked to remove the salt stains. They look brand new now.

33" wheels?? BLING BLING


I used to have Mickey Thompson Classic II polished wheels, After spending all kinds of time making them shine again I would wax them with a marine grade aluminum wax.. they stayed nice for a while

and thats o Long Island... Where I offraded on the beach and got salt spary on them in the summer and roadsalt in the winter..

I would suggest looking into teflon coated rims. Superior corrosion resistance to powder coated products (said with 18 years in the powder coating industry).

Just get some cheap 15" Steel Cragar Soft 8's. Spray paint em black if the paint fades.
