Another option is to re-condition them. I did that to mine, and worked a treat!
They are fairly thick ally plates with a very poor plastic coating which does not protect the edges, hence the corrosion starting at the edges.
Either clean up just enough through the plastic coat then re-seal or remove the plastic completely then polish on a lathe.
Re-coated with clear lacquer afterwards so will last also.
I think some cunning arsehole swapped their really knackered set for my good set on my car whilst parked at coombe during rally day last year!
