Default how can I get surface rust from rain off rims? - Help!

I've had my 17" Konig Troubles on my 'teg for about 3 months now. Everything was fine until we got some rain a couple days last week and when I went outside to head to work, I noticed the rear driver's side wheel had tons of rust on it, that appears to have "dripped down" from the brakes. I hope the rust has not bonded to the wheel itself, but I tried scrubbing it off today while at the hand-car wash. I am afraid to use anything too adbrasive because I don't want to sratch the wheel. The weird thing is, it's only that one wheel too, the others are fine. Any suggestions or comments on what I might do, I have to have to buy another wheel. See pics below. Last picture is one of the other wheels on the car as reference.




^Good wheel with no rust

you should try one of those scrub pads that you use on dishes....its rough enough to scrap it off w/ out damaging the finish
