Rusty nuts

I don't know if they're nuts or bolts on the rims, but whatever they are they're getting rusty.. Any one else experiencing this? I'm wondering if there's an easy way to clean 'em or should I just get new ones? They don't bother me that much but I'd like to get them cleaned / replaced if I could.

Are you asking about the lug bolts? The 5 bolts near the center of the wheel?

you can always get the black lug bolts that we sell, or the chrome ones.

I was washing my car today and noticed the same thing and thought "damn, that looks terrible" hahaha. I should probably get new ones too. Where do you find them?

Did you use an orbital waxer on high speed?

they are bolts. And yes, they will rust.
