Did you clean the wheels right after you drove the car? Almost looks like you washed the wheels while they were hot.
A few suggestions:
As with any polish cleaner etc, ALWAYS test a small discreet area first
If they are not clearcoated, some mothers aluminum polish should do the trick (use this only on the bare aluminum, not the paint)
On painted surface, like others have said, try a cleaner wax. For some over the counter stuff, mothers/meguires etc make CLEANER WAXES. This should do the trick
If the above doesn't work, I have the number to a wheel polisher on LI that does great work!!!

wait did you use a power washer from those DIY coin-op car washes?
I'm thinking the previous person in the bay might have been using degreaser, and you didn't let all of it flush out before spraying your car.

I can't comment on iForged's customer service, but I can say that I've never had any problems with my wheels. We've got the same exact wheels and the same exact finish. I do all my washing by myself, never with detailers, and my wheels don't have spots like that. I hope that they're waterspots and you can get them out after rewashing...good luck.

I have high polished iforged and I don't have any problems with the company itself. I know they have had their problems in the begining but they worked it all out. Good luck to you on this. Read their website on how to clean the wheels.
