Looks like brake dust to me.

Aluminum doesn't rust.

Aluminum doesn't take that color when it oxidizes. Your wheels aren't rusting.

Have you tried brake dust cleaner? Aircraft remover is going to get rid of the paint and clear (if there is one) and might be really bad for your tires, too (don't know about that).
