Makes sure the inside of your rim is very clean..... we use a needle gun to remove the larger rust / crust then sandblast and eventually paint them with nice shiny enamel paint which reduces friction.

Snot...... you need some lubricant used by the professional large truck tire shops...... bring a one liter container and beg for a hand full. The stuff is really like snot/mucus and pulls like taffy or stringnie vaseline and is specially formulated for rubber and is not water base so will not cause rust on the rim.

Good luck.
