I did so and am having a problem with flash rust. Should I have washed the rims or was that a mistake? I was planning on using Eastwoods Rust Converter, but should I worry about the light rust or is it ok with a converter?
thanks.

the rust converter is not much different. wire wheel or brush the flash rust off and prime then you should ready for what ever finish you choose to use
