Hey all, just got my wheels back from sand blasting and the kid did an eh job but where the 2 pieces of the wheels meet on the face there is a crevis that has some rust in it. Any suggestion on what to get in there to get at it? Wirewheel isn't doing much to it so need to go another route in the few spots where it is really scaled. Thanks!

Scrape hard with an old screw driver. Drag the screw driver through it rather than jab it.

Try a screwdriver like george mentioned, then go for a file, wire brush and finish with some sandpaper. Throw some rust converter after that and you should be more than good to go.

If you do the sandblasting correctly there would be no rust. I would take is back and have it done again.
