Alloy wheels stone chips - pope30 - 1:st-Mar-2015

I have noticed while washing my car that there are quite a few stone chips on my alloys and some rust specs on one. I will get some pics tomorrow. What kind of condition are yours in?

Car is a 63 plate with 13000 miles and the alloys are 19" sliver gtc ones.

i had my alloys powder coated as they were curbed to death by the wife
some types of alloys seen prone to stone chips a good alloy wheel cleaner usually clears up the rusty spots
but pics a must so we can see how bad they are

mine are marked near the spokes, pitted, i believe its called annoying, thinking of getting them refurbed, dont know if i want to change colour at the same time though

Just an update on this, I had a close look after cleaning my car and it looks like they have had the worlds worst refurb :(. I can see the original paint showing through the chips. I will be getting them refurbed myself at some point!
