you'll be fine for now!!! work on a classic then you'll understand what bad rust is!! hmmm gee what is that in my sig??? hmmm I wonder Capri-debris is right eventually you do need to repair it as it is most likely worse from the inside out but i UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS NOT ALWAYS PRACTICAL or even moniterially possible for everyone to do that type of repair themselves, often times the do it yourselfer has not the means or tools or time as it may be your daily driver and can't afford it to be down for long periods of time, but by all means watch the rust and fix it when it may be feasible for you

I just took my wheel off to see what it looked like from the other side and it was not as bad as the side I first took pictures of.
