rusty rims

My Pro-4x rims are rusting really bad. I tried to get it off but I couldnt. The truck is only 3 months old too. Any advice on how to get it off or should I take it back to the dealer and make them do it.

Re: rusty rims

Its probably rust from the brakes, when it rains out all the rusty crap on the brakes gets onto the rims and its a pain to get off.
