I went out to go to the store and I looked and saw that my front tires had a rust color all over the metal wheels, both sides, and nothing on the rear tires wheels. What could this be? Should I take it in?

Hello,

Ok, when you say metal wheels I take you are talking about the Rims and that when you say both side you mean driver and passenger side. If so then a question or 2.

Were do you park you truck?

Do you have a Central Sprinkler System with a well (Ground Water) if so did you happen to park the vehicle were the sprinkler may have sprayed on the wheels? If so then the rust color on rims could be from that.
