Rusting Wheels

I have a whole bunch of plastic wheels and I would like to make them look rusty. They won't do anything but sit there and look pretty.[:)] Any Suggestions on how to do this?

Dear Scott
I'd recomend spray painting them.
I made a snowplow a couple of years ago - and I used shades of rusty reds and browns to weather it.
I was hoping that I could paste a picture of the projekt but I can't seem to do it right.
Best of luck
Peter

Scott, I like to use a red primer from the auto parts store and a touch of ultra flat black fini***o top it off. Both in a spray cans, works for me.

There is a rust system out there....Daly's makes it, I think.
Multi-part, brush on where needed and spray. I have whole roofs done this way.
