its probably the mounting wax. when you get the wheel installed, they use a lubricant on the beads of the tire so when u mount it up it doesnt rip the beads. it probably just rubbed off on the wheel.

I think the previous owners of my wheels waxed them because they have this thin white film over them. My wheels are only the right bronze right after I wash them, then they go back to the abnormal.

Seeing the title i thought this was about driving in the cold weather. My wheels are still on and everytime i drive now i get these little white spots all over the lip of the wheels. It easily wipes off with sponge and water but it still sucks. I dont have any of that stuff that you are talking about though.
