I picked up a set of 15" wheels off an old toyota and figure i might as well make them look nice while they aren't mounted yet. There is some rust around the out lip of the wheel and some very light rust around the hub opening. I'm thinking i'll use some duplicolor wheel paint to bring 'em back.

when prepping the wheels.. what is a good way to evenly remove the rust? I'm thinking a wire brush attachment for my drill. how even do i need to be when removing the rust around the lip? will the tires hold air on the rim as long as there are no sharp edges/dents or does the lip of the rim need to be like a machine finish?
