What do you guys recommend when you can hear the rust rolling around trapped in the rolled bead of the wheels? Do you suggest drilling a hole and letting it out then weld the hole closed?

I've heard of guys doing that. If you just leave it , it sould do no harm. After a while it should be pulverized to dust.

I have same problem. I left it in and the other day after washing my spare tire (which had a white wall on it) I found rust running down over the white wall because the valve stem was at the bottom of the tire when mounted on the bracket. But like Tom said, may as well leave it. I solved this problem by putting my valve stem at the top of the tire rather that at the bottom.
