Why is it that the disks on all Honda cars (not just Civics) get covered in rust every time it rains? I was shocked this morning to see the discs on my new 08 EX all covered in golden brown rust. On a walk around the area it seemed only Honda discs were rusting so badly. Disks on BMW cars also parked overnight were still shiny as were most other makes of car.

I noticed when I collected the car on March 1st all new 08 Hondas' awaiting collection also had rusty discs.

Is it possible to fit hub caps over the alloys as the rust makes even the most polished car look a cheap mess?
