The ol flap disc and a wire wheel cleans up the damage pretty
well cheap weight if you forget the damage to rims and
tubes and the time to try and repair the damage

Your campaign on chloride is not the whole issue, since leaving tires out in weather that has rain and snow getting in around the stem will do the same thing without any chloride. I've seen and got some old wheels and rims that had no exposure to chloride and are just as bad or worse. Those are not even that bad. I have used worse with just smoothing them up some. The drier climate you live in would not show this up as fast as it will in more humid and wetter climates much like in the Midwest.
 
My tractor tire store recommend I coat my rims with flex steel to prevent tube from rubbing on the edges of the rust. So far it's worked.
Your rims cleaned up better than mine.
 
Another thing nobody will admit: It is almost impossible to fill a tire with chloride, without slobbering it all over the tire and rim. The expensive hydro inflation valve tool is the cleanest fill method, but cheaper and simpler setups seem to be designed to inject at least some liquid into the rim around the valve stem. It isn't as much as a leak, but it gets the damage started.
 
I made a hi tek fixture for working on rims, set the rim on the steel wheels and run a cup brush in an angle grinder and the wheel goes round and round. That's the way I paint them too.

The ones without calcium never rust here. These arent bad at all some of em have an inch of rust around each bead .
 
Ive got primer and paint hopefully it kills it . Ive got one I never could get to the bottom of it finally had to replace the rim
