So i bought some lugnuts for my new rims after the previous owner said that UPS lost them off the package. I cleaned my rims everyday due to road dust, brake dust, etc. Now i brought the car to toyota dealership and they kept the car for 4 days since i couldnt grab it asap. So i pick the car back up, drive it home and it comes to my attention that the inside of the lugs are orange/rust looking. Remember, these are wheel lock lug nuts. And now i cant even get into the small space. Any ideas on how to remove the rust? I paid 40 bucks for all of these lugs (20) and do not feel like replacing these.

Did you get open ended lug nuts? If so, then even if you cleaned them up, they're just gonna end up rusting again due to any moisture in the air, especially over night. You should of just got close ended lugs.
