Rusting Wheels new from factory

My 2002 F-150 4x4 with the 7700 LB payload package has rust around the outter edge of the rim. This particular wheel is the only one that Ford puts on this package. It's a 7 lug wheel. It's a steel rim with a chrome insert that does not go out to the very edge of the wheel. It is this edge that you can see rust on.

I am wanting to know who else is having this rust problem with this factory wheel. I have also been told that no one makes an aftermarket wheel for this lug pattern. Any ideas?

It looks like it. you have the 7x 150mm pattern?
if so thats the same as the 97/98 f250 and no one makes one
in that pattern.
