Default Rims

hey guys, I know this section is about tires but just in case someone knows. I have a set of rims with corrosion on the inside of the rims. I was looking into having them repaired. One specialist said he could not address he corrision because afterwards the wheels would not sit correctly on the car. another specialist he could sandblast the corrision off without any issues.

Thoughts?

Did you pull this thing out of a lake? Where does that type of corrosion occur?
If it was setting against a drum there would be nothing on the centre part of the wheel.

Well, it's really crucial to check the right land rover specialist. I mean, they should have a proper knowledge, especially on the products so they will be able to help you. If they are really expert, then they will tell the right remedy.

You could probably get them machined, but then you are cutting into metal and weakening the structure. I would not trust those rims.

.... and cost more than replacement wheels. Those are scrap metal in my mind. I would not run them.
