New used rims in with some minor issues!!
got myself a set of used Volk GT-N rims for my supra and picked them up today.everything looks ok so far but these are some "issues" i´m a little bit worried about. is this "normal"/ok?? this is my second set of Volks and since the first one was bought brand new i didn´t had these issues with my first set.
here you see the spots i mean ( yellow marked).



there´re also some terrible left overs from the tires i guess.....should i get rid off them or is there no problem by leaving these spots.

The inside of the wheel may seem trivial but it is not. I have seen wheels with flaking inside. The tire will not seal properly and will not hold pressure.

That is normal for used rims. That is corrosion. When I get tires in the shop that won't hold air they sometimes can be leaking around the rim because of this. No problem though, just take a die grinder and buzz that sh*t off. But from those pictures they don't look too bad and will probably hold air. I've seen some bad ones, those aren't too bad.
