Wheel hubs - how does one maintain it?

For those without ceramics.. would like to know how does one maintain their wheel hubs?

Has anyone considered painting them? with high temperature engine paint, for instance?

I'm considering going black.. would love to see some pics from some owners who have taken the plunge!

Cheers

I'm also curious - also, anyone know if they are already treated for corrosion?

Have you guys removed your wheel to check the hub? Mines is rusted to hell in under 3000 miles on my car.

Put some high temp brake grease on the hub it will keep the wheels from getting stuck on
. The rust is partly due to non similar metals contacting each other

Grease near the brakes, definitely not a good idea specially if you track your car. High temps could cause that grease to find its way on to the surface not making it a pretty site.
