Rusty wheel hubs

I noticed on the demo Zed i had a few weeks ago the wheel hubs were very rusty. I now have the silver paint coming off my Zed's hubs and starting to look a rusty colour.

If the silver paint does all come off (like the demo i had) this is going to look really poor through the alloys......especially if you've got the 19'' V spokes. Anyone else having this go on theirs???

I believe its normal on cars for the hubs to get a bit rusty, but its not something you would notice if you drive the car everyday as it gets shaken off in my experience. I do find what you are saying about the silver paint coming off of the hub, I dont think ive ever seen that before! Is it for sure that the silver paint is coming off or the rust in building on top? Anyone else see this happening?
