My dad had the same car as me before so he gave me his set of winter tires mounted on rims. The rims look like **** and tires are half worn. The wheels are steel so they're rusting a bit from the salt. I won't use my alloys in the winter because they're in mint condition and I don't want the salt eating away at my precious alloys.
Those are the same wheels I have now for the winter. I know I can't just spray over the rust because it will 1) look like **** and 2) the rust will just come through the paint again. Would it wise to sand-blast the wheels and re-spray them or should I just cut my losses and buy a new wheel & tire package?
