Hey all,

After putting new rims on the T they are more revealing than the factory 18's and you see more of the brakes. Love the rims and the look but hate seeing the rust on the hubs and around the brakes. Is there anything I can paint to hide the rust? I will one day replace the brakes with a decent set but wedding soon so need to save.

Cheers

This was an issue discussed quite a lot a few years back. It's best to remove your wheels, clean up the rust with a wire brush etc, prepsol then paint with whatever colour hi temp paint you prefer. That's what I did with my BA before I got new rotors and it worked a treat.

I hate the look of rusty hubs and always paint them. Easy job as mentioned I just mask up the rotor and use a stanley knife to cut along the edge. Takes about 1hr to do if you include waiting for paint to dry and giving it 2 coats
