Winter time and wheels
Is there anything a guy can put on his wheels so that the corrosive crap they spray on the road in the winter won't screw them up? The wheels I'll be using this winter most likely have a bit of pitting on them but I'd like to keep it from getting worse, and if I end up running the wheels I have on the truck right now I definitely don't want them getting effed up.

Cool does it really work? my Alcoa,s have been through 9 winters with salt all over them I just wash them regularly and have no rust on them I find though that the lug nuts need to be taken off and never seize before each winter or by summer the lug nuts are part of the rim LOL

Sand them and re-clear coat them.
I know my friend armoralls his, I've personaly just sprayed mine down with wd-40 and leave it on there, just mist it, don't have to soak them and then drive down a gravel road, they will look like A$$ but that what I do for winter storage. Dont spray the rotors.

Yes it is. WD (water distribution). The road stuff is technically in the water that hits your wheels. Makes perfect sense to me.
They actually made WD-40 for use on submarines. It just happened to be the 40th formula that worked the best. Hence the name
