Default Wheel Rust

I noticed a rust on all 4 of my wheels. Is this normal? Do I need to treat the wheels with an anti-rust? I did not expect this on a 2 day old vehicle.

Thats rust on the brake rotor not the wheel. All car brake rotors do this, due to the iron composition.
You probably haven't noticed it on other cars you have owned as the wheels may not had high visibility of the brake rotors.

It will happen on any car any time the rotors get wet. Hit the brakes and it will be gone until they get wet again. And as stated above, they are your brake rotors and not the wheel.
