errrrrgggggggg...rust forming on chrome wheels

wtf? I clean them once a week and there's still rust forming around the lug nuts. Any ways to remove this stuff and prevent it?

Thats my main reason why I HATE chrome. Once it starts flaking and pitting, it will just keep rusting and rusting.

I guess for now, you can polish them with chrome polish every week until you can afford some new wheels. Maybe some other guys have a better solution...

Save up for polished wheels
