Do you think waxing them would help?

 

It will but wax doesn't go on to well in the cold, you will have to bring them in over night , wax them , then put them back on in the morning

 

Well for now I sprayed the moons with clear plasti dip which gave them a brushed aluminum look. Kinda matches the grille. This should keep them from rusting
I may plasti dip the mirrors too match

I got my moons as a set with the rims from summit racing, Like your black on the rims , was thinking of plastic dipping my rims for the effect you have, also the front grill too

 

oldblue, is that what you did to your rims?? plastic dip or just painted?? I was thinking of plastic dip in case I want to go back to chrome

 

My winter steelers are just rattle can engine paint red, my WV's rally wheels are powder coated Davis Racing red!
I would use Plasti-Dip on your Chrome rims, just for a little change up for s season!

 

yea..... spent to much $$ to spray paint a perm. color on them

 

A little update. The pasti-dip clear started coming off the back caps. I suspect its because the caps extend past the body of the car and get hit with road debris. So I removed all the plasti-dip and sprayed the caps with Rust o leum clear coat for wheels. Got it at Menards for $6.50 a can. I did about 3 applications per cap. Now its wait and see how they hold up.

 

hopefully a season or two!
