I wouldn't be using that rim on the left because there is far too much corrosion.

I've just used this product on my house and worked well. I intend to use it my projects when the time comes.

painted by hand the centre part of the rim, where the tube sits, was pretty bad but has come up well, have 3 rims done so far, needs a top coat of silver then can have tyres fitted to them. unsure whether to paint them and let them sit and fit tyres much later or have them on the LR so that i can move the car around. will see...

some deep bronze green left over paint thrown on the firewall, clearly a diff colour to the bonnet but will use as an undercoat. paint stripped back to metal. needed some paint on top to stop corrosion as it was metal exposed. firewall is another big job for another day

doesn't look like much but its progress, sanded back some areas of the firewall that was easy to get at with a grinder. there is a pink coloured glue? i think which is hard stuck on but my new grinding wheel makes easy work to sand back, though wont get into corners. brushed on some paint to protect against the elements until sprayed later...

As Trout said, I think I'd be somewhat worried about using the rim on the right, well both actually. I think both are a little bit to far gone for further use. You can see what looks like an actual hole on the rim/flange where the tyre will sit. Sand blasting would give you a truer guide/look as to how far gone they are.
Would you be able to find another set if you needed to?
