Well water and Chrome - 3/30/2007 11:22:38 AM    vtecHef   Posts: 187 Joined: 2/1/2007 Status: offline I just got my rims and had not really thought about the well that is still hooked up for the outdoor water. I have wahed it twice in the well water and dryed it very well rims included. My question is , is it a huge problem to keep doing this ? Someone told me as long as you get it good and dry theres nothing to worry about. If anyone knows ne thing to help treat the rims or to just go to the car wash and not do it with well water... ???
