I purchased a set of HRE 541rs on the forum and when i received them i noticed a few small areas of discoloration.They are clear coated.It looks like there is some yellowing under the clear coat.Any suggestions on how to fix this problem.They look almost new ,just a few small areas of yellowing.

It is probably the clearcoat itself that is yellowing. I don't think you can just remove the "spots" and touch it up, but rather you'll have to get the whole wheel stripped and refinished. Good luck.
