I recently picked up a set of used steel wheels, w/no tires mounted. They are in good shape except for a little rust, a thin bead on the inner area, where the tire rim most likely wore away the paint. My question is, should I be concerned enough about this rust to try to treat it? My gut feeling is that it shouldn't be an issue, but since the wheels don't have tires mounted on them yet, now would be the ideal time to treat them if necessary. Your thoughts kindly appreciated.
