Rust stains on wheels

dpw198 · 08-12-2011, 02:18 PM

Hi,

Does anyone else get rust on their wheels where the oem bolts are installed?

I seem to have this in every one of my wheels, especially after it rains or when I wash my car. I think it is the bolts that are rusting as the water doesn't find it's way out of wheel cavity.

I don't drive my car much, but I never had this issue on my E46. Maybe I should replace the oem bolts?

Thanks,

Dan

I used to before I applied antiseize on the bolts.
