So a while back our rear ag tire sprung a leak and we had calcium ballast in it so we recovered it and put in a tube and put the ballast back in the tube. Well this allowed the calcium still to work on the rim now that there was no longer water inside the rim because it’s in the tube now. So our rim rusted around the valve stem and now there is a hole and you can see the tube. It’s till holding for now but it’s just a matter of time. What are my options. Should I weld a plate over the valve stem and drill a new hole for a valve stem. Or should I buy a new rim and be done with it? What size rim do I look for? Are they 12” wide or 13” and where is the best place to get a rim.
