Does anyone know what can get this off the inside of this rim? You can see it better in the after picture.

You might try some metal polish. Looks like there is a bit of rust in there. I've also used Color-X as it is a good cleaner and I believe it has some wax too. MPPC is also a good strong cleaner.

maybe some clay bar or go crazy and get some scotch brite. what kind of brush are you using?

Had the same problem with some of my wheels. A claybar and some lubricant was able to get most of it off. Have you tried that?

[Paulvr4]

actually if you are talking about the middle part where the bolts connect i suggest some sandpaper. looks like years of metal to metal pressure/contact stains.

Maybe once you remove the rust, you could try some metal guard on them to maintain the wheel.

I second the clay... but to be clear are we talking about the center of the wheel(bolt area) or the outer rim?

If we are talking the rust... if it were me I would just leave it, IMO its not worth removing.

I have that on the inside of my winter rims and nothing got it off, but i haven't tried claying it yet, still waiting for Canadian Tire to restock the clay

Ok, like mentioned above.... clay and a paint cleaner. See what that will do for you. Cleaning the inside of wheels is not fun but its worth it, apply a coat of NXT or #21 and your set.
