Hey guys since i dont have a license my car just sits in the driveway and it probly wont be too much of a problem now but during winter water has been sitting on my 12 slotters and they have been rusting up.

Try a wire wheel in a grinder to get it off and a bit of gold galv, killrust or the likes to stop the rust.
Then if wanna touch em up buy some "chrome spray" just to blend it in a bit as you cannot get rims rechromed.
