Wheels off, wire brush rust off, degrease, mask off and paint with suitable paint
Check out chrisfix on YouTube, he's bound to have a video on it

Oh that's not a pretty sight. As above you can take the wheels off wire brush the heavy stuff off. Then genolite or similar, wipe that off and paint, primer then colour. Be sure to use heat resistant paint plenty available for engine blocks and calipers etc.
 
Wire brush any loose rust off ,wipe down with a petrol soaked cloth to remove any grease and apply Hammerite Smooth in the colour of your choice. No primer, one coat and no rust. It copes absolutely fine with brake heat also
