Any special product to remove rust spots? Thanks
Aluminum foil and water (or coke). Just use it like sand paper on the chrome ...
Lightly use a brillo pad and coat the rim with 3and1 oil. Wd40 is ok too. You want to grease up the rim to avoid scratching. I'd never use tin foil on a rim.
Okay, don't shoot me for saying this - but since we're soaking the rims in coke and not actually drinking it; can I use the off brand stuff or a quasi-Pepsi? ( Since some off brands copy Pepsi and not Coke) Is the rust fighting ingredient the same?
Just wondering if I indeed have to use genuine Mr. Cooooke.

Got em soaking. One more question. I am so close to being able to use my good free floating lug rim ring and get rid of this old pos. I have one lug left. It's screwed into a screw with hex shaped collar but the collar is concealed. I was able to remove the other ones by sheer luck. The lug will not turn at ALL. I think it's rusted to it. So this is as far as I've got. Here's some pics. I have access to the inside of the tube but I can't push the bolt out far enough on the open side to get to it (its stuck there) and I can't twist the lug off.
It's literally molded in place. So... Liquid wrench, or...?
I scrunched up alfoil and cleaned up my sonor kit years ago but I think maybe I needed to put some product on it because I think it's coming back.
