Keeping rust off new wheels

Are any of you doing anything to keep rust off your wheels that gets transferred from the hub? I bought some brand new wheels and I want to clean the rust off the hub more permanently. I’ve taken a wire brush to remove what I can. When I had the rotors off I removed all the rust with a wire brush on a drill. That worked pretty good but it’s an on going battle. My next thought to take it a step further is:

-clean the hub again and put some waterproof grease on the hub
-or, clean the hub again, prime it and coat it with some rustoleum paint. Maybe clear it as well. I’m concerned the paint might just chip away from mounting the heavy wheel making a bigger mess and also concerned that putting primer and paint might be too thick and the wheel will just end up scraping it all off anyway.

Thoughts?
