Well guys. First off the replacement rims are not the best. they are skinnier and not has heavy duty has wheel horse rims. but for now they will do.

I had a h*** of a time with tubes on original rims i ended up letting air out and breaking tire down and cutting tube. Only did this because of fact these valve stems are weird. i couldnt get tool in to remove the core seemed to have a metal plate blocking it. and one of the rims i couldnt get the holder off of the valve stem. original rims dont look so bad once broke down . the issue is on valve stem side of rims they were ate up by the calcium chloride leaking.

Hot soapy water and a scrub brush would be my guess. I would hesitate using rust removal products unless it gives a list of things it can be used on, looking specifically for rubber. Dawn dish washing soap is good for many uses. I use it for all kinds of things.

Napa RuGLYDE will clean and refresh the rubber, scrub them first and then apply this stuff and bag them up for a week and let it soak in.
