OEM lug bolts getting rusty
My OEM lug bolts have started developing surface rust and it really looks awful. Does anyone have any suggestions on cleaning this up? Would rather not replace these if I don't have to, as this seems like it's just cosmetic.

If you change wheels pretty frequently, it's best to change out the bolts since they do fail at times.

+1, replace it if cost isnt an issue. Or just rub it hard with so dw40 + rag and try to take most of the rust off.

lift the car and block it, remove the lugs and soak them for an hour in WD40 ... rust is gone!
