Wheels

My '08 t.l. Looks great except for the wheel hubs, near the rotors and the calipers.
The appear rusted and look like crap. What's the best and least expensive way to improve the appearance of the wheels.

Thanks.

thats just one of thoes areas that is going to get and stay dirty/rusty on a daily driver....there isnt much you can do, unless you are willing to take your wheels off every time you wash your car....

although i do wash it all the time, no i don't plan to remove the wheels, with every quick rinse. They for whatever reason do have a lot of corrosion, maybe from sitting for a while as a demo on the dealers lot?

Are you talking about the wheel itself or the hat on the brake rotor along with the caliper?

If your talking about what I think you are (the wheel mating surface on the car), I am planning on painting mine Gloss Black with Dupicolor Caliper paint at the next tire rotation.
