One of the front wheels on my 1998 M3 was damaged a while back and I had it replaced. These are the BMW ltw forged wheels.

I noticed today that the new wheel is brighter and shinier than the older ones. The old ones seem to have a yellowish hue. Is there any way to fix this?

Washed them immediately upon getting home. That's how I noticed the difference.

That sucks. I wonder if polishing them would even work since they're forged. :dunno:

It turns out the guy who detailed the car used degreaser on the 3 old rims (and the one that was replaced). I don't know what this means, but I think it may be part if not all of the problem.
