I have the same rust on mine but I don't use acid based wheel cleaner on it and when it's at the dealers I leave a post-it on the clock binnical that says clean in side only.

I always get rust on all my cars, discs, pads & calipers.. Still looking for an alternative to painting.

You can get them passivated but that will soon deteriorate after one winter. Epoxy mastic all the way, just don't go red.
