Rust already on lugs
so 3 weeks after I buy my wheels/tires my lugs are already starting to rust.. I assume this might be from the winter salt and all that and im definitely going to have to buy a set of summer lugs.. but how could those things rust after only 3 weeks? is there something i could put on them to help stop the rusting?

any lug will do that if installed with an impact gun. i would bet hand tools werent used to tighten them down. if thats not the case than they are just cheap lugs. thats why i only use hand tools to install my wheels but i also have the triple chrome lugs that are hard to make rust. you could spray them down with wd-40 to keep them from getting worse, just dont get any on the brakes.
