I have the same XD Series color of rim, the flat black...except I have the Monsters not the Rockstars, so it may look cool just like yours. But i sort of like the SS look.

I used the red scotch pads (scotch brite??) on mine before I painted them. I scuffed them the length of the tips and it did remove most of the coloring. Mine were not as bad as yours, but they were turning a yellowish color after only about 6 months on the truck.
Beast7.3,
The look gray in the picture, but I bought the Duplicolor high heat Low Gloss Black paint with ceramic coating. It was $6.49 a can at my local automotive store.
I am from the Tomball area, northwest of Houston.

I gave a disclaimer in my post when I said I think it's stainless discoloration, it's really hard to tell when it's not physically in front of me. That said, I'd use as fine a grit of scotchbrite I could get and try a spot that is not visible, see if it takes the discoloration away. Then make a decision if that's what you want to do.

Anyone ever use "nevr dull"?
It's cotton batting, soaked in what smells like lighter fluid. It works amazingly in removing rust, oxidation and other nasty hard to remove imperfections.
It even restores finishes you wouldn't think of trying manually like moderate pitting. I use it on chrome mostly but has other uses also.
