Avoiding Rust: Rims and Body?

[Jeep4Life0112]

Happy Friday Everyone!

With winter weather quickly approaching I am wondering what I need to be doing with my new Jeep to keep it looking great for years to come. On my previous vehicle the rims were the first to begin showing signs of rust. I am pretty sure that winter driving conditions and the salted roads played a big part in this. What should I being doing to prevent my shiny new Rubicon rims (standard, not upgraded) from having the crap kicked out of them by winter driving conditions (besides moving)? Are there any products out there that I should be applying?

Appreciate any and all feedback

I just keep them well waxed and for the lug nuts (Hard to wax) I use Pig Spit on them. Of course, I wash the wheels often, as the road salt, etc., sitting on them is not good.

Fluid film is a popular option. Spray the under carriage and rims every so often. Some people do every few weeks in the winter, others do once or twice a year. Por-15 is another option that I've heard of but have not tried.
