Both of my rims have rust coming through around the valve stem holes. These were painted earlier this year. Also the metal is rough and bubbly in that area. So how long do I have left?
I bought these rims and tires used, and have no idea how old they are. Just wondering what my options are. Drain the calcium out and put air in the tubes? Dismount the tires and install new tubes, and put something less corrosive than calcium?
A couple years ago I had a leak in my previous set of tubes. It rusted a hole through the rim and let all the calcium out.
I like having the loaded tires for ballast on my loader tractor, but dont like chasing rusted through rims.
