I was wondering if it was the moisture in the compressed air over all of these years that had a bad affect on the rims or if it might be something else. Is this common? I am going to bead blast them, which has never flash rusted on me and then I am going to have them professionally painted.......hopefully that would stop the rust and give me many more years of service. Advice on whether I should put tubes in with my new tires or not put tubes in would be very appreciated. I have a brand new set of front, narrow ags to put on once the rims have been cleaned and repainted. Thanks in advance for your comments...

those are tube rims now ,if you try and put tubless tires on them they will leak for sure ,i would sand or wire wheel what you can and spray them with the rust inhibiter it turns rust in to a paintable surface & call it a day ...
