wheel corrosion...repairable?
all 4 wheels are now showing corrosion like in the pic. i maintain / wash the car frequently, especially whenever there's salt on the road, but apparently not enough to stop this. i definitely do not remember seeing any bubbling starting last fall, so i think it set in pretty quickly over this past winter.
is this repairable? or should i be prcing new wheels at this point?

Any local wheel shop can either polish that out or repaint them.

KennyFSU aerobod nice! they've never been my favorite wheels, but wheel budget is reserved for my pending new-build M2C. good to know these can be easily cleaned up...and hopefully not approaching the cost of new wheels.
i've owned a number of high-mileage bimmers on stock wheels and never seen this type of corrosion. assuming it's the machined face / clearcoat combo that is set up for failure?
