The service tech showed me how the clear coat was just flaking off badly. 13 years in the salt belt isn't a bad lifespan for rims.
A trick (if the wheel is not pitted) is to remove the wheel and use motor oil as a sealant. Works great.

That sticky goop shit that the tire places use works great as well. But, the tire shop should have submerged the thing in water.
