I decided to put the snow tires on early because I didn't want to put them on when it's cold and crappy out.
I ended up with this...
I don't really care about esthetics but this was looking pretty crappy so I decided to take them off and clean them up a bit and give the a half-assed paint job.
I bought the cheapest gloss rust paint I could find and went to work with a drill and wire wheel.
The cleaning was gross and a lot of effort so I decided to upgrade to a mediocre job and get some rust primer tomorrow and carry on.
It's coming...
I don't wanna bother with the backside but I will probably scrape off the loose stuff and put a thin layer of grease on it.

I regreased my caliper slider pins while I had my wheels off.
I've had this stuff for twenty years. Its synthetic and has molybdenum disulfide, graphite and Teflon.
I couldn't find my grease needle so I had to go buy a new one and greased my tie rod boots, ball joint boots, and sway bar end link boots.
I just used regular grease, the special rubber safe silicone/brake grease is really expensive.
I ended up putting my summer tires back on to give me time to clean up my winter steelies.
