fixing up Rims on a tribute..help!!spacey 05-13-2006, 12:50 PM I bought my tribute over a year ago, and I didn't ever notice how BAD my rims really are. They are rusted all around. I was wondering what a good way is to touch them up and get rid of that rust? Is there a way to do this? If not, where is a good place to find some cheap rims. I live in Canada, and I contacted my Mazda dealer (HORRIBLE PEOPLE TO DEAL WITH) and they want about $200 a rim. Can someone help me out!! Thanks a bunch!!
