nothing there to polish.

Theyll need to be stripped and re chromed or powdercoated.

Thanks that's kinda what I figured, do y'all think they would still be safe to run, it looks pretty deep and I haven't bought em yet so I can still change my mind

they should be fine to run... the pitting/corrosion is in the chrome plating, not in the base aluminum

that right there is the reason I won't buy chrome wheels

Ouch...hurts to look at that. I love the look of chrome and I know, when I buy chrome wheels, that it's down the road for that pitting to happen. I don't know any way around it. For my wife's Ford Flex, I bought those PVD Chromed wheels and believe it or not, almost 5 years later they still look amazing!
