    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.

    No one rusts centers of wheels because most wheels worth doing anything to are made of aluminum or magnesium... which doesnt rust

    Ah, gotcha. Thank you.
