the rust. Or does the blasting and repainting process restore the seal? >>

I had all 5 wheels from my Midget blasted all over. The sandblaster guy also
primed them for me. The spare was rusty EVERYWHERE when I got it. The place
where I bought the new tires said that the would put a sealer on the edge of
the rims to make sure I had a good seal. No problems so far.
