Re: 66 chrome hubcaps stainless or plated brass?

Ok, now Im confused. I have seen many 61-63 deluxe caps (not factory painted) that had rust. If they are made of brass (copper & zinc)which does not rust, and contain no iron oxide, how is it that they rust. Even stainless can rust in the right conditions so the rust on 61-63 deluxe caps could be expected, but not if they are brass.
