There's moisture in air. When you fill your tires with compressed air, the moisture goes in the tire too. Moisture then has potential to rust out the rim from the inside. They use other gas (nitrogen?) that doesn't have moisture. Usually garages will put green air valve caps on tires filled with gas.
