It is the plating wearing off. It won't cause an issue with brakes.

This is why I never use acid based wheel cleaners as it weakens the plating and eventually removes it. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

If it concerns you significantly, then simply remove the wheels and paint them silver with Hammerite/Smoothrite.
