Painting wheels, rear?

Just about to start repainting the wheels. Does anyone bother cleaning the rust up on the back side and repainting? Not a lot of rust there, but if I expect to get another 20 years out of the wheels, should I?
 
Yes, you should prep the entire wheel. Wire wheel on a drill works well. Having them sandblasted or doing it yourself if you has access to the equipment is best. If you are going to have your tires balanced they will likely scratch the new paint off when attaching weights. Powdercoating them would be optimal.
