    just use some sandpaper on the lip to remove the rust, then touch it up w/ silver paint

    yep, silver paint if you wanna get rid of the rust, also, get some good wheel cleaner like Castrol "All wheel cleaner" -man that stuff is amazing... or if your too lazy, just get some cheap plastic wheel covers...

    I know. I tried to paint my steelies black, but they just look dull and boring. I can't find a nice glossy black. Also, I've been looking at getting some rims for the last couple months, but it's hard to save up $900+ at a time. One day...
