Chris, Chromium is not as ductile as steel and spokes are under a lot of tension in actual use. So the corrosion on the spokes is caused by small stress cracks in the chrome which provides a place for corrosion to take hold. Waxing the spokes after the spokes have been run in and re-trued can help alleviate this in the future as well as avoiding caustic wheel cleaning solution which can strip the metal of natural protection that builds up over time and accelerates rust.

I hope this helps.
