Rim Problem...
What's the solution to fixing this problem:

That's after scrubbing the bitch down and using my finger to really really really glaze the surface... that stuff won't come off... neither the film on the larger surface, nor that stuff in the crevice(sp?)

Actually
most of the discoloration is from the factory clear coat being damaged or simply flacking off. Best fix I've found is to send the wheels out to be polished. Doing so removes this factory clear coat which is now useless anyway.
Then, if you want, buy a can of high temp glossy black (or color key to your car) and spray paint the insert sections. CAREFULLY clean off any overspray with paint thinner or acetone with a clean cotton rag. You're wheels will then look good as new, maybe better.
Costs about $25-$30 per wheel if you can find the work shop directly. If you can't, go to your nearest aftermarket wheel retail store. They for sure know where they are. Will probably cost an extra $20 per wheel if you go through them. Or, a well placed six pack of beer will get you the name and address you're after.
Afterward, simple autowax maintenance keeps them looking new.
