It could just be like some of the stuff I used to do here for guys. For the amount of time and hassle it's not worth the bother for the reward or the liability if they fix it. Then something happens injuring them or you because the rim split while inflating or after because of rust or welding.
Some days guys call with this stuff I know whats going to happen now. I just tell them i'm busy, I'd be busy if the shop was empty and I was watching TV. why do I want to fight for several hours or more, give the guy a bill for $100 plus parts I fetched that might cost $60. Then have to listen to him whine because he thought $50 or less would of got parts and fixed it. When I worked for the seed plant we had a FWA 6400 Deere, the boss wanted me to fix the flat on the front. I jacked it up tried for 10 minutes to get the bead to move then quit.
When the boss left for the day I called the tire shop . He said the trucks busy, could I bring the wheel Heck yes be there in an hour. They had a huge hydraulic machine would do 38" plus tractor rims and tires. That guy made that machine struggle for 30 minutes while he pulled control levers. seeing that rim in your pictures wouldn't encourage me either to be honest, after fighting a tire with a perfect painted rim like that Deere one.
The catch with that tractor was it came from a dairy farm and the corrosion crept in the rim and locked the beads tight and you couldn't see it, the tire guy was surprised their machine struggled.
The last used 36" Fordson Major rim I had here with a hole about an inch round I could see and near perfect looking 50 year old paint on the rest of the outside was totally rotten. It was nearly in 2 parts apart from a bit about 10" long by the time I'd got the tire off, and beat on the crust inside the rim with a welding hammer. Your rim could be very similar when you are done cleaning. Maybe it's just time to buy a new rim if it's common, put a new tube in and be done with it unless you get a flat or wreck a tire.
