Probably sprayed with "galvanized" paint.

This happens on boat trailers, people get them hot dip galvanized. Some unknowing people have them cold zinc plated thinking it is the same but it really is not (hint to unknowing people who might be reading this, get it hot dipped if you want it to last longer). If you want more hot dipped wheels find some rough ones, the hot dip fills in the rust pits so they look better.
