2015 Ram 2500 Longhorn: 20" x 8" Polished Alum white-gold Pocket wheels. The laquored? finish is beginning to turn loose on three wheels. Dime and quarter size. I'd like to protect these wheels from corrosion and keep nice looking.

Any suggestions appreciated

I think once the alum starts to corrode and flake it all needs sandblasting or stripping and refurbished. Don’t see how to touch/cover up that. Strip and paint, I would say.
