it was the wheel that they took off when fixing the TP monitor, im not sure if they used anything to clean it but i dont belive so, since service guy was gonna put it for a car wash, i know it is a car and stuff like that wears out but i only have 3k on it
searched over the forum found some nasty pics of acid burns on those wheels, but i never used an acid or any kind of wheels cleaner, and that tire foam was used on all wheels but things like that are only seen on one. has anyone took something like that to the dealer ?

Hat to say it, but those stains are not going to come off. You might have to find someone who can refinish your wheels. The dealer had to refinished my wheels because it was their fault for using harsh wheel cleaner and not wiping it off properly. They repainted it and it match the silver color. It doesn't have the clear finish look anymore, but it still looks good.
