A spray of Rust-Oleum seems like a good idea for your rims. If the rim is rusting where you can see it, it may also be rusting where the tire is supposed to make an air-tight seal to the rim. To avoid future leaks, next time a tire needs to be removed from rim, ask your tire shop to inspect that area carefully. I’ve experienced a couple of rim leaks on my truck due to rust forming there. Removing the rust with a wire brush was all I needed to do.
