The existence of the circles doesn't worry me at all. I've just always had a fairly well developed sense of curiosity...always asking why .

now that you mention it, my steelies that don't have hub caps on them are rust free. I just assumed it was from salt and sand from the road surface sandblasting the parts of the wheel that weren't covered by the hubcap. Now I'm unsure.
