Jim, the rears typically pick up more dirt etc than the front - the rear wheels 
on my Audi are ALWAYS much filthier than the fronts. Perhaps whatever 
lubricant/sealer that was used on the inside of the spokes is leaking through 
and picking up dirt from the dirt road.....

I'm having big trouble keeping the inside rim (behind the spokes) of my wire
wheels clean. One drive and the rears have what looks to be little rust pits
forming throughout that area. I've used Mother's Chrome Mist and a toothbrush
but I'm not getting it all. What the heck is this stuff? I travel a couple
miles of dirt road each time I drive. The road is never wet. Is this something
from the road? Something from the car itself? Why just the rear wheels? It's a
mystery. Any favorite cleaning brush and solution?

Thanks,
Jim
