How do I do this? If I took it to a PepBoys or something will they do it for me or are there cheaper ways to do it? Thanks

 

Cleaning wheels and tires can be part of your detailing routine. About every 10,000 miles I take the front wheels OFF the car for a thorough cleaning. Rear wheels accumulate little brake dust.

 

Rusty tires ? Never herd of them. But you can remove your wheels and clean them real good

 

I agree with taking wheels off for a thorough cleaning...but....if you want something a little faster ...get yourself some (no acidic) wheel cleaner, an a good wheel brush...an do work.....Gl

 

I didn't know tires can rust.

 

Are talkin real "rust" or just residue fron the brakes and road gunk?
Don't know where rust would be coming from?
Of course,pull off the wheels,scrub down the tires would be best.
You could always jack up the rear,work on the wheels/tires unser the car.

 

I wonder if he is talking about the rust on the rotors that is not in the sweep area?

 

OP, what tires are you running? Are they the new Comp Iron ones?

 

If the rust is on the wheel itself it could be that the clearcoat on the the wheel is gone.

 

hahaha sorry I meant rims but its not the whole rims, just the part near the brake

 

Move the car about 40 inches. Now the part of the wheel closest to the brake is the part of the wheel farthest from the brake. See how I did that.

 

When you say brake, are you talking about the caliper or the rotor? The caliper is the metal bracket that clamps down and squeezes on the rotor. The rotor is the disk that rotates through the middle of the caliper.

And when you are talking about the part of the wheel (rim), are you talking about the spokes or the interior wall of the wheel? The spokes extend out from the center/hub of the wheel, and the wall is the flat wide portion of the wheel to which the tire is mounted.

I know what a rim is haha sorry. I just wasn't sure that the thing I'm talking about is a rotor. But yes, rotor rust is what I'm asking about

 

Tires wheels rotors. Sorry but I am lost here.
