The corrosion to be concerned about is inside where the bead seals. Mine had bubble of white corrosion on the bead itself. The rims looked like new when the tires were put on I checked each bead area but in 1 year both rear ones had corrosion at several spots on the bead. Of course the corrosion on the outside has no effect on anything besides appearence.....ooops got dragged down again I am done
