Had the same problem with one of mine.

Turned out to be corrosion on the inside of the alloy.

Tyre place wire brushed the wheel and applied liquid rubber - problem solved.

Might save you the cost of an alloy?

same here with two of the wheels on our MG TF, they used a wire brush to remove the rust from the rims, been OK ever since
