Re: Rusted Wheel Help
Wait till it is above 50.
You can use a wire brush, but takes elbow grease...
I like to use an angle grinder and a wire brush wheel. (get a good one like a dewalt not a harbor freight one)
grind off the rust scuff up the entire wheel.
Use brake cleaner or paint thinner etc to clean the whole wheel after.
If tire is still on tape off tire, if tire off the rim no worries
Get a spray paint can of a color of your choosing. Follow directions on can for best results. EX: temp minimums, time between coats etc.
Then I would clear coat it, again following the directions on the can.
BOOM wheels look like new
A good spring project.

Oh and about the -25 I live over in PA near Pittsburgh, I hear ya!

Oh and get good spray paint, automotive stuff. NOt dollar general or something shitty.
You could get fancy and get a paint gun, but that may be a bit much
