Most likely it is corrosion on the rim caused by salt. The only good remedy is to have the tires pulled off and the rim polished. A good tire shop will also add a bit of goop (lack of a better word) to the rim. I had mine done last year at a minimal charge and the pressure is holding nicely.

I would not use a puncture sealant, just on principle and it does make a real mess on the inside of the tire and rim.
