I have only had mine for 2 months but That really isn't good. You may want to take the wheels off and scrub with a wire brush and apply a Solid Film Lubricant. It will look a little darker but better than rust.

I would your dealer check this out before attempting to do anything about it yourself. I think it looks rather strange. I've seen it before on much older cars (4 or 5 years old).

What do you use to clean your wheels? Do you use an automatic car wash that sprays any type of wheel cleaner on the wheels?
Sometimes wheel cleaning chemicals are pretty harsh and can take the paint off of the brake calipers and other painted surfaces around the hub.
