do you know if your rims have been fixed? meaning were they curbed at some point in the past?

bare untreated metal + water = rust.

probably a combination of the elements and some type of physical impact or wear at that point.

What i dont get is 'rust', are vossens made of steel?

Aluminum wheels do not rust, what you are most likely seeing is clear coat failure on the lip. Due to age or maybe you are using chemical wheel cleaners thats breaking the clearcoat. Try to only use soap and water to clean wheels. But some wax on it and should help preserve the finish.

You can take the wheels to a wheel repair shop and have them re-clear coat the lips.

The lip must have made contact with something. Any marks on your rear quarter panel? we're they like this when you first bought them off the other member?

Some pics of the rusty mark might help diagnosing the problem.

looks like you need to roll your frenders and then you should be good but if you want to go lower you well have to go with smaller tires its looks like you 275/30/20 in rear .you can go with a 275/25/20 or 255/30/20 cheaper$ and dont have to do anythinge
