You could take a sander / wire wheel to the lip to remove corroded on the lip ..

On a 2001 I had a rim that would leak especially when it got very cold. NTB took the tire off and polished the corrosion off. I think it was $25 or so for one wheel. I live in MN and the winter road salt takes it's toll on rims.

I agree clean the rim with a wire brush attachment on your drill and it should take care of it.
