Re:
I was going to say it looks like some really harsh acid wheel cleaner has been used there. Car dealers tend to just blast it on full strenght and then just powerhose it off.
I have seen this before. You just have to look at the wheel nuts and the hubs where the spoke of the wheel has sheltered the hub to a degree.
I avoid using wheel cleaner. I find the car shampoo foamed with a snow foam lance usually enough. My hubs and brakes look fairly new after 2 years and the car isn't driven in the winter. I also blow them dry with a leaf blower after a wash as this stops the immediate surface rust on the rotors.
You can seal the wheels with rim wax or if you have the spare cash Gtechniq.
If you do need to use wheel cleaner use a non acid type and water it down, scrub and get it off pronto. Cartec stuff is good at 1:3.
