As has been stated, aluminum (wheel material) can't rust. It oxidizes, but when it oxidizes, it actually seals itself from further oxidization so it won't effect the critical operation of wheels.

Like this dude did:Originally posted by Rally View PostAs has been mentioned, aluminum doesn't really "rust" as much as just oxidize...but you could always paint the centers with reactive metal paint to give it a steel finish that would eventually rust in the elements.

wheels are also a bit more critical to the operation of a car than a hood or some body panels. just my $.02

Ah, gotcha. Thank you.Originally posted by 6erWebb View PostWheel fetish: Il be the helpful one.
No one rusts centers of wheels because most wheels worth doing anything to are made of aluminum or magnesium... which doesnt rust
