Default Is this normal ?
This weekend I rotated the wheels and upon removing the rear tires I discovered plenty of rust in the rear wheel "hub" (see below):

Is this the same situation for everyone ?

Thanks,

Default I sanded the rust once I took the wheels off and then blew off the dust w/ an air hose..
Its amazing how much brake dust accumilates around the calipers/rotors and how rusty those things get...
