Aluminum wheel hubs
I am talking about the aluminium things the tires bolt to. Well mine are pitted and need some TLC to look better. Any suggestions? Should i polish? Paint? Any "how toos" are appreciated.

I assume you mean the "rotor hat". I haven't had this issue with my 991. I didn't have it with my 997 either. Warranty might be the way to go.

it is officially called the wheel hub and the service guy says pitting is common especially when you live by the coast, so I guess I am going to paint mine black!!

I guess you could be referring to the steel center wheel hub. I use it to balance and rotate the wheel on it to line up the lug holes. Because of a slow leak, I recently took off a 5-lug wheel. After it took some effort to try and break it loose, I used a firm kick. The center wheel hub was covered with rust so I used a rust remover and then coated it with anti-seize. I also put some on the alloy wheel mating surfaces to prevent any electrolysis.
