nothing a wire wheel cant take care of, it's cast iron...it's bound to rust especially anywhere there's rain, salt, or snow. Look at this way, it gives you an excuse to clean them up and paint them. Throw a little stop rust on them before painting to ensure rust doesnt bleed through. It's a pain in the ass dealing with rust but it's not the end of the world...and that looks like really light surface rust so it shouldnt be tough to clean up.

I wonder if you couldn't take the wheels off and use a steel brush to remove the rust. I would imagine its surface rust.

Clean it off with rust removers, then spray primer then coat it with caliper paint. That would take care of it.
