Does anybody have a solution for getting rust off the rims?
Also, any suggestions for keeping rust off? I live in a rain forest, and i figured i should start to protect against it now, before its to late. (I'm also open to the idea of painting the rims, but I don't know much about that


Thanks!
P.S. Do you think i should be worried about the brakes rusting also?
this would be a great time to repaint them.
check around here for very detailed instructions.
its a 2 to 3 hour project and its pretty easy.

get alloys.

you will be fine a little rust is ok on rims! hell it adds character! Mine are scratched banged slightly bent and they are still going strong. i see no need in repainting something over and over and over again when your always wheeling or going through mud or snow or what ever. know what i mean. or just do what the guy said above me. Get Alloys.

are they chrome? polished aluminum? alloy? steel?

steel wool would probably work
