A tip to stop modulars (or eight spokes) rusting so quickly.
Apart from dings and scratches, it usually starts in the welded join between centre and rim. So when brand new, run a thin bead of silicone sealant (black or clear) round the join, inside and out, which will keep water from penetrating and keep the old ferric oxide coating at bay.
