Wheel Rust Question

There is a flange on the center disk of my split rim wheels where the center disk is riveted to the rim. Moisture has penetrated the area between the rivits over the years and flakey rust has pushed the flange away from the rim toward the center of the wheel. I have looked for replacement wheels at the local salvage yards and most wheels seem to have this corrosion. I am tempted to cut the rivets, disassemble the wheels, remove the rust, then reassemble. It looks as though this would be a major project. Has anyone experienced any wheel failures due to this type of corrosion?
