Anyone have any experience with rustoleum rust remover? Did it work? I have rust like crazy on my rims and it peeks out from behind my hubcaps making the car look so ugly. I just bought some but havent used it yet. I'm really hoping to not only remove the rust but prevent it from returning period.

Rustoleum is good stuff. Primer and base will do the job.

Im surprised your rims rusted so soon, how bad are the roads? We gotta suffer salt in the winter and surely enough steelies rust really quick here.

I was surprised too! The weather is HOT HOT HOT for the most part, 99 today. We get alot of rain from time to time but thats it. no salt down here. I've been looking at other versa's around here and none look as bad as mine go figure...

Did you take them off and paint them?

Did you cover the lug nuts?
