I also own a pair of the 8305's, and I love them. I know the "white streaks" you mention, as they're also on my pair - best I can tell, they look like they might be caused by stretching or folding of the plastic into the shape of the arms, but they really aren't all that visible, so they never bothered me, either.
The 8305 is one of the the best-quality frames I've ordered from Zenni. The "pop inward"/"double-rim" frame design actually gives them a nice style, since otherwise they wouldn't be able to have as square/ flat a front appearance while still being full-rim.
