Rusty Wheel Hub Lips – What to Do?

I have a first-world problem that I don't know what to do about. My wheel hub lips are rusty, and I'd like to both remove the rust and keep it from reoccurring.

I've got some different abrasives that may get some of the rust off, but I'm not sure any of them will remove all of it. Is there a product typically used for something like this, one will work on a piece like that inside five nearby studs (photo below)?

As far as keeping the rust from reoccurring, I recall hearing of paints that can be used for this (e.g., POR-15) but have no idea which one might be suitable for a part that can get as hot as wheel hub lip.

Any and all thoughts, experiences, and advice are welcome!
