The best bet for removing rust from aluminum is to use a commercial rust remover, which you can buy at AutoZone or online.
Aluminum does not rust, although it can become stained with rust from other metal pieces, like wheel bolts or mounting screws.
You can use a rust remover to get rid of these rust stains. Read the instructions on the bottle to learn how to effectively use the rusty remover—however, expect to spray it on the rust, let it sit, then rub it off.
Rubbing the rusty spots with steel wool is another tried-and-true option.
