The aluminum 16's tend to oxidize really easy, i had the same problem, i clayed and polished them with many different compounds but no luck. so finally i wetsanded and sprayed them with duplicolor wheel coatings

They still are not perfect but look alot better than they did, I used 1500-2000 just to take the oxidation off, then used a wax and grease remover and sprayed a few coats on there.
