Brakes will always rust, that is normal. First time you stop it will be gone. The wheels are aluminum and should not rust, unless I am missing what you are asking.

On my car I cleaned and painted the rotor "hat area" black which made them look a lot better.
The area on either side of the pad contact area still shows some very minor surface rust....as most vehicles on the road will show.

Something else you could do to prevent your wheels from rusting onto the rotor hat area is to apply a light coating of anti seize. Just make sure you don't get any on the actual rotors or the lug bolts.

Yeah like bossman said, the surface of the rotor will rust if it's wet and sits but first couple stops and it's gone. The calipers and hat will need to be painted to keep them from rusting. I plan on doing mine ASAP cuz they look like ish (car is from Chicago). Thinking of going silver and keeping the look OEM. I did it on my BMW and it doesn't take that long. I took the rotors off but left the calipers on when I painted everything. Just need some tape, newspaper and spray paint. Fun job for sure and makes a world of difference.

Yes Thank You I Guess I'm Going To Have To Do Like Everybody Saying And And Paint Them. It's One Of Those Cosmedic Thing. I Know The Rust Comes Off Right Away But When It Wet Out It Gets All Over The Sides Of The Car. Just Makes The Wheels Look Like Crap
I Wipe The Wheels Dow Evertime I Have To Use The Car. Thank You To All Who Responded To My Post

And Gets All Over The Sides Of The Car
