It aint just because of the calcium. I have rims here that were never near calcium and they rusted out around the valve stem hole. I also have rims 25-30 yrs old that have always run calcium and don't have a speck of rust on them.

I should have the bugs worked out on these PVC wheels shortly, that should solve the rust problem. I hope to use recycled oil jugs from yuppie owners in my test program.
