What is rusting? The tire itself? The rim? The rotor?

the full spoke will be covered and if i take a brush i can get half of it off then the other half is black and wont come off is there any way to get it off or stop it from coming again

it sounds like you did something wrong when you did your brakes. its hard to diagnose stuff over the internet but doublecheck your brakes back there to make sure they arent dragging which would cause more dust obviously

Did you buy the value brake pads by any chance? Cause if so, those do create allot of brake dust as they are made out of cheaper material. It's allways a good idea to buy the more expensive brake pads especially if you have aftermarket rims.

Maybe try washing them! Probably will have to scrub...
