Has the rust eaten through the metal yet? If not, I would get my hands on an angle grinder and a cup-shaped wire wheel. That will make quick work of any rust.
That will take it down to bare metal though, so you'll need to put something over that to protect it. Don't use primer though, because it absorbs moisture.
I'm a little confused though... are you talking about your car's body, or the wheels? I couldn't really tell.
