I think part of my problem is the brade dust compound (from track pads). I may try heating it up with my heat gun. That might soften it.

I know exactly what you are talking about....A literal line of caked rusted metal particles around the wheel. It's horrible. I worked for over 2 hours to clean up a set of wheels and got them looking a little better than the first picture and I was ecstatic with that... especially since they weren't my wheels. You will definitely have to use something abrasive if you do it by hand. Sounds like it's going to be elbow grease or easy off..
