are the rims clear coated? and if yes did you use any type of rim/tire cleaner on them?

or is it just brake dust build up? if that’s the case you could try using a claybar to rub that stuff off.

You sure its not brake dust?  
As noodle said, try cleaning it with a claybar.

Hope you get it fixed.

Is it hazy?.. From what I’m seeing on my monitor, it kinda looks white-ish… almost akin to clear-coat failure on old cars…

Maybe I’m crazy? ☹
